Scenario 2A Comprehensive - Progress

[Bobfrat]

Progress: 2A Comprehensive

Successes

• A catalog-driven search of the basic oceanography variables (wind, waves, currents, and water level) to test different CSW endpoints and multiple geographies (Figure 1) was performed. The geographies tested were the North East, Gulf of Mexico, North West, East Coast, Hawaii, Arctic, and Caribbean.
• The procedure was repeated with temporal constraints to test for recent (< 1 month) data.
• Charts were generated to display the number of records returned by the CSW endpoints for each endpoint, location, and variable (Figures 2 and 3).

Figure 1: Map shows bounding box of all the locations tested.

Easy Challenges: Identified and Fixed

None

Longer-term Challenges Identified

• Some servers have a maximum amount of records you can retrieve at once. See Create easy way to paginate CSW records #126.
• We need to specify all the names we know about for each variable that will get used in the CSW search. This is ugly and fragile. For example:

Bob. Thanks much. Looks good.

Some servers have a maximum amount of records you can retrieve at
once. See #126 #126.

We need to specify all the names we know about for each variable that
will get used in the CSW search. This is ugly and fragile. For example:

Since no further work has been done on this scenario since late September, I am closing this Progress issue.
