Abstract :
The immense potential for new science findings as a result of inter-instrument data analysis has led to the development of a new data portal at GSFC: the A-Train Data Depot (ATDD). The power and utility of this new service to the research community is amplified immensely when the archived data are used in conjunction with online data analysis services like Giovanni. This presentation details some of the challenges of data usage from multiple distinct missions and how the tool sets we have developed can help to overcome these challenges, considerably cut down on analysis overhead and promote science exploration in an otherwise very challenging arena.
