Has anyone set up a netcdf-based archive for oceanographic hydrology data. At present, we have a rudimentary system, based on flat ascii files, which we are planning to upgrade. If suitable software and data formats already exist, it would save having to re-invent the wheel. we currently store station & vessel id, position etc plus the physical properties & chem analyses etc for one or more water samples per station. The data is indexed with multiple keys: key 1: vessel, year, cruise, staion number key 2: year, month key 3: position Thanks Bob Beattie
