PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of our newest web tool, Dataminer, currently in beta status.
http://podaac-tools.jpl.nasa.gov/dataminer/

Dataminer is a web tool for searching and subsetting Level 2 (swath) data. It was developed originally by the French agency Ifremer (an upcoming collaboration is in the works), and modified at PO.DAAC. We are hosting a modified version of this tool now in beta form, and will be adding many more datasets.

Here is an overview of the capabilities of this tool:

 Easily search for Level 2 (swath) data based on a spatial bounding box and time range
 Additionally filter your searches using basic statistical metadata collected from the original data (min, max, etc)
 Get an image preview of your search results before downloading the raw data, with a colorbar for reference
 Download the data in multiple formats (NetCDF3, HDF4, Image, KML)
 The data comes trimmed (subset) based on your space and time search criteria
 Save your search criteria and load it back up when you return (registration required)
 Access data both at PO.DAAC and at remote archives (AMSRE data from PO.DAAC and NODC, meaning the complete historical dataset is searchable across archives)
 Your data request is packaged into a tarball (tar.gz), and we send you an email to let you know when it's ready, and an http link to download it from our server

Currently we have two PO.DAAC data sets in the tool, GHRSST AMSRE REMSS L2P, and QuikSCAT L2B (25 km). As mentioned above, you can search the full archive of AMSRE, as well as the full archive of QuikSCAT data.
We will be adding more datasets in the near future.

We are encouraging all PO.DAAC users to come try out the beta and let us know what you think.
