2. http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/aon-cadis/ Be a flexible, evolving AON Data Portal Support NSF IPY AON data streams Strive to develop end-to-end data services including data discovery, ingest and distribution capabilities Emphasis on developing a unifying metadata standard that is compatible with ISO, IPY and other international conventions Build a consensus data set format that will allow one to display, subset and analyze AON network data Objective: Submitting data to CADIS facilitates data integration Primary CADIS Goals

3. http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/aon-cadis/ Striving to Meet PI and Community Expectations Enter metadata quickly, efficiently, and without confusion Find my own data and display it Display it over or with other data sets of interest (that may or may not be in the CADIS system) Mathematically manipulate data Export in a choice of formats Easy to use, graphical interfaces Some examples to emulate ArcticRIMS - http://RIMS.unh.edu NOAA ESRL PSD - http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/ PublicData/
