Abstract:
Reanalysis and gridded fields obtained from point observations aid in the study of Earth system dynamics and provide insight into processes ranging in spatial and temporal scales. Accessibility improvements in oceanic and atmospheric data products help those studying these two components and their interaction.

We have expanded the existing web app Argovis (argovis.colorado.edu) to include a visualization and data-delivery tool that displays and compares oceanic and atmospheric gridded fields. A Rasterizing component displays the products on a tile based web map. Additionally, it is capable to chart differences between grids of the same field for comparison. There is no need for large file storage or software installation to use this tool, Argovis runs on the browser. Users can download data directly from the app’s database through an API to perform analysis in their preferred programming environment. This tool is in development and will include more gridded products as they are released and updated.
