PMEL Programs and Plans
Accomplishments in FY 97 and Plans for FY 98
Innovative Technology
PMEL data analysis is performed for gridded data sets via
Ferret, geographical information via the VENTS
GIS and oceanographic observational data via EPIC.
Innovative instrumentation is developed by PMEL's Engineering
Development Division.
Innovative technology in software and hardware has been developed in support of
PMEL's research projects. Outstanding software and data management capabilities
allow scientists to access, view and analyze observational
and gridded data,
and to work with geograpical
information systems. Up-to-date information about PMEL
research is available on the World Wide Web, and near-realtime data, analysis
products and retrospective climatologies can be previewed and downloaded for further analysis. Perspective on PMEL's research program
results is provided by World Wide Web Theme
Pages. Essential support for computer and network technology are provided
by PMEL's Computing and Network Services
Division.
PMEL's Engineering Development
Division supports PMEL research with innovations in elecronics, mechanics,
materials, and sofware engineering. PMEL's measurement capabilities in the field and laboratory are enhanced by application of
state-of-the-art instruments and systems that integrate observational and measurement
technologies.
