Naval Interactive Data Analysis System (NIDAS), Software User's Manual

Abstract

NIDAS provides interactive blending and overlay capabilities for a broad range of environmental data types and formats. The product output of NIDAS is a three-dimensional gridded field of temperature and salinity constructed from (1) data derived by the user internally within NIDAS by synthesis and (2) data obtained from external numerical models, observations and climatological databases. NIDAS operate using numerous oceanographic data categories stored in an installed version of the Naval Environmental Operational Nowcast System (NEONS), a relational database management system (rdbms) which employs the EXPRESS proprietary rbdms are performed externally. NIDAS retrieves and stores data to/from the rdbms but exercises no direct internal control over the rbdms or its configuration.
