SEACOOS CDL v2.0 December 9, 2004 3 Figure 2.2.  This figure is a “screen-shot” of the SEACOOS interactive map display and interface (http://www.seacoos.org). The data displayed are wind and sea-surface temperature observations from September 27, 2004 showing the remnants of Hurricane Ivan. 2.3 Data Scope  The scope of data that has been tested thus far with SEACOOS CDL is data from near real-time observing stations and platforms from a number of data sources and data variables.  Table 2.1 lists the SEACOOS partners contributing data in netCDF files conforming to SEACOOS CDL.   Also listed in Table 2.1 are federal data sources that have real-time Internet accessible data that are automatically “screen-scraped” and re formatted using SEACOOS CDL standard for netCDF.   Table 2.2 lists the data variables that have been tested.    Since the purpose of SEACOOS CDL is to present real-time data, only the last 48 hours of observations should be stored in the netCDF file and then updated as new data are available. However, this format could also be used to disseminate and store data for historical archives.
