1 Introduction
This document is a quick start guide for the âplot interfaceâ (§2), âMDB interfaceâ (§3), âMerginatorâ (§4) and Syntool (§5) of the Pi-MEP platform.
2 Plot Interface
The plot interface allows extraction and plots of satellite and in situ SSS time-series at virtual buoys location, or some time series of statistics (averages, standard deviation, âŚ) of SSS data or scatterplots of these data over some user-selected spatial and temporal domains. This tool relies on âDatalapsâwhich is the âtime series real-timeextractorâ: itallows fast access to data available given multi-criteria requests (over regional areasusually),togeneratetimeseriesplotsorstatisticalmaps,evenwhenusingdozenyearsofdata. It relies on Big Data technology for the efficient storage and manipulation ofgeoreferencedtimeseries. 1.2 General Layout of the interface
