What is it?
Data Search provides a robust set of features for both scalar and complex data products. Results are publishable products with accompanying metadata reports for citation in scientific papers. Many more instrument types are searchable than in Data Preview, including hydrophones, seismometers, vertical profilers, ship data and cameras.
Using a shopping cart model, you can create & download multiple searches at your convenience. If you log in with an Oceans 2.0 account, your previous data searches are retained.
Why is this useful?
Searching large data sets over time can generate massive amounts of data. Data Search gives you options such as averaging, Min/Max and selecting Clean or Raw data.
A search history lets you start a search while at one location (e.g., work) and then check in on that search from somewhere else (e.g., you mobile device, or at home)
