1, enables users to view and analyze model output
and supplemental observations. The viewer was
developed by RPS Applied Science Associates (ASA)
in partnership with IOOS. The Environmental Data
Server (EDS) is the source of model output
displayed in the Model Viewer. It harvests
met-ocean data from disparate sources, which it
then converts into a single format (mostly into
netCDF format). The EDS aggregates data spatially
and temporally and serves as a single source for a
variety of met-ocean data and model output. The
data stored in the EDS can be pulled into various
map-based clients (e.g. SAROPS viewer, Esri
ArcMap, the IOOS Model Viewer). A THREDDS Data
Server instance layered on top of EDS provides
catalog and DAP services. The model data that can
be accessed in the viewer currently are currents,
water temperature, salinity, water level, winds,
and waves. The IOOS viewer acts as a virtual data
center for model output.<br>

released on June 1, integrates regional, national,
and global real-time data (within the last four
hours) across the IOOS enterprise from both
federal and nonfederal sources. It currently
displays data from approximately 32,000 stations
and 119,515 sensors. The hexagonal binning seen in
the default view are averages of streaming
real-time data and provide an aggregated view of
information at a glance. This binning changes as
you zoom into a location, and individual stations
appear the closer the user zooms in. The map was
developed by Axiom and began as an experiment (the
broker/scalability test) to see how much real-time
information could be ingested into a product at
once before it buckled under the load. However,
it never broke, and IOOS ultimately invested in
the product to integrate ocean observing data for
the nation. Overall, the tool provides analytics,
summaries, and visualizations of real-time data
and showcases IOOS Regional Association
infrastructure and capabilities.</td>
