    About COPEPODITE

COPEPOD's Interactive Time-series Explorer (COPEPODITE) has two major components: The Time Series Metabase is a map-based interface linking to over 340 marine ecological time series (e.g., zooplankton, phytoplankton, nutrients, pigments) distributed across the globe. The Time Series Toolkit is an online tool that can process a user's uploaded time-series data using a variety of methods and visualizations.
