Fwd: javascript/JSON driven applications
Jeremy Cothran
NANOOS (Rick Blair, Emilio Mayorga, Troy Tanner) for sharing their
insight with the NVS application development which this borrows from
and several of Troy's graphical design icons which we reused directly.
Just wanted to mention the below recent Secoora
Javascript(Openlayers,GeoExt,ExtJs) and JSON driven applications
announcement as of interest to others using the same tools or design
approaches(smaller data caches/time-series and display/comparison or
javascript-based browser functions/features). Glad to discuss
javascript/JSON reuse or development as useful.
Thanks
Jeremy
Interactive Map
SECOORA recently updated its Interactive Map to increase the usability
and access to near real time observation information. This update
includes integration of bathymetry and nautical charts and expanded
parameter graphing capabilities. The interactive map includes an icon
link to an email observation alert system (select a platform and click
the mail icon at the bottom of the pop-up window) which allows you to
sign up for a single parameter or a combination of parameters that
pertain to your specific application (for example, temperature and
dissolved oxygen within a range) and have alerts delivered to your
email when specifications are met at a particular asset. The
interactive map also includes data query and graphing (select a
platform and click the database icon at the bottom of the pop-up
window) for recent data initially and longer-term archival data in the
future. Please contact Dan Ramage or Jeremy Cothran for more
information. http://secoora.org/maps/interactive_map.html.
Model Explorer
Charlton Galvarino was recently tasked with creating a simple-to-use
website that exposes SECOORA member model output for the region. The
site leverages the same toolset that the new SECOORA interactive map
uses: OpenLayers, GeoExt, and ExtJs. The model metadata is inserted
into a MySQL database that can be searched via Google-like free-text
through the application. By properly applying keywords to the
datasets in the database, searches for 'water temp' & 'water
temperature' will expose datasets having to do with 'sea surface
temperature', for example. The system currently only has SABGOM and
ADCIRC available but will be augmented by additional model outputs as
modelers become ready. It is the modeler's responsibility to avail
model output via WMS. A THREDDS-based ncWMS interface to model output
is preferred since it enables the user to navigate through the output
through space and time. Please contact Charlton Galvarino for more
information. http://secoora.org/models/
