Upcoming webinar: Simplified NASA Earth Science Data Access through OPeNDAP

Open source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP)

Open source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP) is a protocol for accessing and transporting distributed scientific data. It provides users (i.e., OPeNDAP clients) simple, remote access to large collections of data sets via the internet through HTTP.

On September 29th at 2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. (EST), NASA's EarthData Webinar Series will present three different NASA EOSDIS instances of OPeNDAP and show how to leverage these implementations for accessing NASA Earth science data. (Registration: https://earthdata.adobeconnect.com/e5nixnonla2/event/registration.html

The Webinar is a collaborative presentation from three different DAAC's.

Part 1: THREDDS Data Server- NASA ORNL DAAC

Provides universal access to a variety of biogeochemical scientific data products.

Provides ability to integrate distributed data products from multiple OPeNDAP services into your workspace (e.g. R) for analysis (demo)

Part 2: Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS)- NASA LP DAAC

Middleware Services- Quick Overview

Web-based – Extract data values from MODIS layers for point locations using AppEEARS.

Part 3: OPeNDAP, EOSDIS and Additional Tools- NASA ASDC DAAC

EOSDIS/OPeNDAP Collaborations- Big Earth Data Initiative(BEDI) and Earthdata Search Client

Use Cases- Tools that can access OPeNDAP (Panoply, ArcGIS Pro, etc.)
