The data server facilitates the access and retrieval of environmental data by allowing users to view and/or retrieve a selected set of data using a Web browser. The project began in 1996 in an effort to provide interactive, on-demand, web access to a variety of data sets at the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), promoting communication and collaboration among the different interests. The data can be accessed internally via our local area network and externally, fall of 1999, via the World Wide Web (WWW). This project was made possible in part by the support of the Environmental Services Data and Information Management (ESDIM).

The AOML groups which have contributed data to this project are:

1. The Physical Oceanography Division (PhOD), which operates both the Drifting Buoy Data Assembly Center for the Global Lagrangian Drifter (GLD) Program and the Upper Ocean Thermal Center.
2. The Hurricane Research Division (HRD).
3. The Ocean Chemistry Division (OCD).
