Overview and demo of the Coastal Marine Discovery Service (NASA ACCESS 2009) Ed Armstrong – PI Luca Cinquini Chris Mattmann NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Frank O’Brien Zach Siegrist System Science Applications, Inc. 18 July 2012 ESIP Summer 2012 Madison, WI
Overview . . . • AKA “Coastal Marine Discovery Service” (CMDS) • 1: a discovery portal for remote coastal datasets including satellite, in situ, ocean model, GIS layers. • No data stored in CMDS; only harvested metadata and URLs • http://cmds.jpl.nasa.gov • 2: a visualization and data interrogation system for datasets in the CMDS repository • “on the fly” visualization and georeferencing • Dataset overlay and download • Client web interface. No software necessary to download.
Overview • CMDS blends proven software technologies of open source Solr/Lucene database and search interface with OODT and EASy GIS Netviewer from System Science Applications (SSA, see http://runeasy.com) • Discovery through a faceted and free text search interface • OODT is used extensively (profile servers, profile handlers) to parse and ingest the remote datasets • OODT harvests Catalog.xml from THREDDS servers • Visualization and interrogation via EASy Netviewer • Web client • Interacts directly with search results from CMDS (URLs) to access and download data
CMDS accessible data • Satellite: Level 2,3 and 4 products for SST, Chl A, Turbidity, Wind, SSH, Salinity • Ocean Models: 3D Salinity, Depth, Temperature and Currents • Currents: Coastal HF Radar • In situ data: Ship, buoy, and glider observations of SST, Wind and Currents • Historical: CalCOFI reports, fish surveys, scientific cruises • GIS coverages and other point data: Bathymetry, marine sanctuary boundaries, socio-economic
CMDS search interface • Facet/free text driven to over 160 data sets • To date focused on coastal datasets from CoastWatch, NOAA ERDDAP, NASA PO.DAAC, NOAA NODC, NVODS, US NAVY on THREDDS (OPeNDAP) servers • Interface built on the earth system grid federation software
Visualization and data interrogation – the EASy NetViewer client • Reads and displays any OPeNDAP URL from CMDS catalog • Data interrogation of pixel values • ROI statistics • GIS like queries (filtering, stats) between multiple layers • Hardwired shapefile layers • Data export to netCDF3
Integration • Future deployment at PO.DAAC “labs” site Aug 2012: • Site for exposure of new tools and services • Based on user feedback will be elevated to a standard PO.DAAC service

Issues • Latency to periodically recrawl previously indexed data repositories • Many THREDDS repositories have extremely limited granule metadata • Free text search interface suffers
