4. Exposing Data
When the slide comes up – hit the mouse once and the remainder of the animations will take care of themselves. You are seeing examples of the data portals.
US IOOS is focused on data management. The IOOS Regions have the responsibility for helping us expose data from State, Local, Tribal governments; academia, and industry.
We have developed a single “recipe” for the Sensor Obsevation Service (SOS) and deployed 2 software i.e. THREDDS, 52N and ncSOS. Go the IOOS website to find out more information.
