The recently gathered FLUXNET synthesis dataset contains on the order of 900 site years from over 260 sites.
The size of this dataset makes browsing of the data difficult for users without additional help. For instance, a
search of the dataset for sites with particular meteorological or flux characteristics would require a download of
the complete dataset and then running all of the data through a preliminary analysis. Instead we have developed
a Scientific Data Server which enables browsing of the data on-line and then download of only the data needed
for an analysis. The Scientific Data Server leverages modern database technology and stores the data in a
database. This server allows individual researchers to concentrate on science rather than data management. We
leverage database tools such as data cubes and web reports to enable Excel pivot table and browser access to
the data. It is our belief that by using these tools a researcher can quickly and easily evaluate the quality and
availability of the data and identify sites able to support a specific analysis. In addition, we have leveraged
available collaboration technology to incorporate support for contact between site PIs and researchers hoping to
use their data. In this talk we will give a brief introduction to the data server and its available features.
