You may replace the '.csv' with '.html' to just see the data in a web page, or with '.kml' to load them into Google Earth. See attached KML file to see all of these in Google Earth. (You'll need to fiddle with the time line slider in the upper right of the main window to see them all.)

Here's a compilation of the recovered emails Mike McCann (see COSCI perspective) sent out, with the correction for the array line length:

Information about STOQS

About STOQS

STOQS (Spatial Temporal Oceanographic Query System) is a geospatial database web application designed for providing efficient access to in situ oceanographic measurement data across any dimension. Where "dimension" is considered in the broadest sense, for example: any spatial dimension, time, the collection of platforms, any other parameter value in the database.

Use Case
Precondition:

Observational data from a variety of platforms (Gliders, AUVs, Shipboard systems) are individually available from OPeNDAP servers.

Goal:

Retrieve data by parameter name across all platforms in a specific area over a specific span of time

Data Management Niche

STOQS complements other data management technologies such as NetCDF and OPeNDAP by providing an ability to index data retrieval across parameter and spatial dimensions in addition to the a priori indexed coordinate dimensions of CF-NetCDF. It also provides a functional bridge between NetCDF and Geographic Information Systems technologies.

Operation

Data is loaded into STOQS from a variety of data sources, including OPeNDAP data sets, other relational databases, and flat files. Products are delivered in a variety of formats, including KML, via REST-style web requests. STOQS was developed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and is used within the Oceanographic Decision Support System (ODSS) to provide data management for campaign-oriented multi-platform investigations of oceanographic processes.

Access

The MBARI Oceanographic Decision Support System (ODSS) hosts http://odss.mbari.org/canon/default/query/ to provide access to upper water column in situ measurement data collected as part of the Controlled, Agile and Novel Observing Network (CANON) project.

For more information, contact a member of the ODSS engineering team to get a personal overview and walk-through of STOQS and the query interface.
