VADER is the flagship data retrieval application for GLEON. It allows users to retrieve and visualize full-resolution datasets over multiple date/time increments (multi-month, multi-year, etc.) in real-time.
Steps for using VADER
- Launch from here using any web browser.
- When the dialog appears, choose open (or save if you’d like to launch it from your desktop using that file).
- If an error dialog appears that says “Could not create the Java Virtual Machine”, you need to install Java first: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
- Once VADER is finished loading, choose the site and (optionally) variable you would like to view from the dropdowns.
- From the “Available Streams” menu, select as many streams as preferred, and press the right arrow.
- Format is “Site:Variable(depth)(unit)Aggregation”
- Select all the desired streams from the “Selected Streams” menu by holding “Ctrl” and clicking. (To select multiple at a time, use “Shift”.)
- Select the Start and End dates for all streams to be viewed/retrieved.
- To visualize the data, click “Preview”.
- To download the data, select the desired Date format and Aggregation, and click “Save”.
- Leave as RAW for all data
