ASW Reach-Back Cell Oceanography Analysis System (ARCOAS) Version 3 User's Guide

Abstract

ARCOAS consists of customizations of ESRI's ArcMAP that make ArcMAP easier to use by the operational forecaster and oceanographer in the military support setting. This user manual gives setup instructions and describes functionality of each of the tools distributed with ARCOAS. The set of tools included in ARCOAS as well as the ArcGIS platform (ArcMAP) on which it runs assists the oceanographer forecasters at NAVOCEANO in analyzing geophysical data as it pertains to supporting the anti-submarine warfare mission. This system could be extended in support of other missions as well.
