Title: Coastal Ocean Time Series Database (COTSDB)from the National Oceanographic Data Center

Description:

Abstract:

The Coastal Ocean Laboratory of the National Oceanographic Data Center begun a project for developing a prototype coastal ocean time series database (COTSDB). The primary objective of this project is to integrate coastal ocean time series observations from a variety of instruments with different resolution, accuracy and response to spatial and temporal variability into a common database.
