CarICOOS Data Access Architecture

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Data Acquisition and Processing

  • Data is mostly acquired and

processed by Python scripts running in cron-jobs in various machines.

  • Some simpler data that does not

need heavy parsing/processing is usually processed by small Bash scripts.

Web Applications

  • Web applications/online

visualization is usually coded in PHP.

  • Lately we have been making

heavy use of the CakePHP Framework.

  • The Model Assessment Tool

(MAT) was built with Flex 3

Visualization

  • We are now experimenting with

Matplotlib for visualization of gridded data, and others.
