COAST Version 2.0.0 now Available for Download!

The new COAST 2.0.0 is here!

Please download and try out the enhanced functionality that has been added to the  COAST geobrowser. These features and functionality in the new COAST 2.0 were added based on user feedback to allow more capabilities for user data addition and visual analytics.

Additions include:

  • The Temporal Visualization Tool
  • The Recursive Online Remote Data Directory Mapper (RECORD-DM) Tool
  • The Import Data Tool
  • The Add Points Tool
Click HERE for more information on these additional tools.

The COAST (Coastal On-line Assessment and Synthesis Tool) was created at NASA SSC as a prototype web based 3D Earth data browser that accesses coastal resource management project results and allows a user to combine them into a multi-layered and/or multi-temporal visual analytical look into possible data interrelationships and co-effectors for coastal data phenomenology. COAST was created from NASA’s geospatial OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) compliant open-source client browser, World Wind, created at NASA Ames Research Center.

COAST can be used to access many existing online datasets as well as import and map local data through its various ingest and import tools and utilities. COAST's toolset is currently being developed to allow greater access to a larger realm of the most commonly implemented data formats used by the coastal science community. As additional data layers are identified as useful by the community, COAST Layer files will be created and made available for download and inclusion in the user's COAST Layer Manager as accessible data in COAST.
