A 3-D interface to the world
We have added Google Earth functionality that facilitates
a geographic presentation of the stations of cruises together with basic information.
Wherever possible graphical presentations of the temperature, salinity and
other measured parameters of the water column are also supplied.
If you have Google Earth
installed (download here) click
on the little Google Earth “feed button” as shown below to download the feed
and start Google Earth to display the stations.
Please choose “Open” or
“Run” when asked.
Examples:
this is the feed button for CTD and 
this one for Cores
Click on one of the buttons above to display all the public
CTD stations or Piston Cores that currently reside in CODIS or CoreBase.
Depending
on the speed of your internet connection the download may take some time.
These
examples represent the main, but not all, (meta-)data of the public area of our
databases. To view more data please explore the
Google Earth feeds supplied by the Data Inventory or CODIS and CoreBase pages.
Installation instructions. After
installation go to the Tools menu. Check the option “Web” and then click on
Options..
In Options go to the tab Preferences and remove the
checkmark “Show web results in external browser”.
Inquieries about the use of Google Earth can
be addressed to Mr.
Ronald de Koster.
