Wed, 08/05/2009 - 14:09 — Bruce Caron
At its 2009 Summer Meeting, the ESIP Federation voted to fund the Studio to upgrade its World Ocean Atlas Viewer. The World Ocean Atlas Viewer will be upgraded to be more effective as a classroom teaching tool. The NOAA climatology data will be updated from the 1998 set to the 2005 (the most current) set. Several teacher-requested user interface improvements will be included; and then the new viewer and all the data will be made available as a download for Mac or PC. Expected completion date: November 1, 2009. Martin Landsfeld and Jim Frew are the PIs on this effort.
