The Matlab OPeNDAP Ocean Toolbox

This is a temporary page. The main web site for the Matlab OPeNDAP Ocean data toolbox is off line due to hardware problems. We'll get that back up and running ASAP.

This toolbox provides users with access to a number of ocean data sets via OPeNDAP. The strength of these GUIs is that they expose complicated data sets (often multi-variable, multi-file data sets spread over a number of directories) in an easy to use interface, allowing the user to request only the subset of data -- parameters, spatial and temporal range and resolution -- relevant to his or her needs. The GUIs follow a similar format so that once a user is familiar with one, the others are straightforward to use. Each of the GUIs calls a function that configures the OPeNDAP request and reformats the returned data stream. The user can either have the data returned in native mode or OPeNDAP mode. These functions can also be called directly from the user's scripts by-passing the actual GUI if the user wants scripted access to the data. To get started, you will first need to download the Matlab Structs Tool onto your system.
