Abstract

Finding and using data is an important skill for understanding the world around you. Through the SECOORA data system users can discover, access, and analyze data from the Southeast to answer questions about a variety of topics. The SECOORA Data Portal allows users to:

• search and download real-time and historical data
• compare datasets from different stations
• generate and share custom data views
• access metadata for SECOORA stations
• access regional and sub-regional models (including coastal circulation, water quality and fisheries habitat models)

This webinar will highlight key features of the SECOORA Data Portal and the new Text-a-Buoy program. Axiom Data Science will showcase new Data Portal capabilities including:

• faster display of dense profiling data sets
• improved information on sensor and station pages
• faster chart loading
• ERDDAP data downloads which automatically incorporate time/depth dimensions
• ability to select time periods on charts.

Join us to learn how the SECOORA data system is using data to meet the needs of users and how to make the data work for you.
