Summary

Abstract: The NASA Coastal Marine Discovery Service focuses on improving discovery of these regional coastal ocean web services and data portals, including databases for satellite imagery, in situ and field measurements, and GIS coverages as a few examples. In addition, we believe that ocean model product web services remain underutilized, including regional ocean models. In the first phase of our effort we intend to build an online catalog of these resources that will allow users to quickly discovery the availability of web services and data for their region of interest, physical parameter of interest or specific regional project of interest, or any combination of these. In the second phase of our effort we will integrate those services that allow callable data retrieval syntax such as WCS/WMS, OPeNDAP, JPL Datacasting into a client within the framework of the EASy GIS, the most advanced GIS for marine research and data products. Currently it supports over 40 NASA remote sensing products and a growing list of in situ and ocean model products. Using a web interface (client) to the core software a user will be able to integrate, view, overlay and interrogate products that have been linked to our discovery catalog.
