Originators’ Data and Archive

• Geoportal: Search page | Browse Tree
• Ocean Archive System (OAS)

Both of these systems search the same archived data sets. The OAS is our older interface, while the Geoportal is newer and brings together our various discovery web services and metadata into a user-focused framework. The Geoportal also enables a robust set of machine-to-machine discovery services.
