Preface

Using the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI, a researcher can browse and retrieve earth science data from many different sources, importing it directly into Matlab, where it is available for display or for further manipulation. The OPeNDAP Matlab GUI provides a graphical environment within which a researcher can browse many datasets to find appropriate data, can select or subsample that data, and can display it as well, all by using a simple point-and-click user interface.

An overview of the system's use is presented, and specific tasks illustrated, for data providers as well as for users.

This document also covers the Open Source Project for a Data Access Protocol Matlab command-line clients, with which a researcher can download data directly into Matlab, for further analysis. The OPeNDAP Matlab GUI provides a graphical front-end to such a client, but you can use them directly as well, which can be of use in automating data analysis, for example.
