eAtlas THREDDS service (AIMS)

The eAtlas delivers its NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) data file using a THREDDS Data Server (TDS), which provides metadata and data access using OPeNDAP, OGC WMS and WCS, HTTP, and other remote data access protocols.

The services delivers data, matadata and map layers associated with the eAtlas project (https://eatlas.org.au). The data focus on environmental research on the Great Barrier Reef and its neighbouring coast, the Wet Tropics rainforests and Torres Strait. The map layers served by the WMS service can be used to create environmental maps when combine with other dataset such as the layers provided by the eAtlas Web Mapping Service (https://eatlas.org.au/data/uuid/71127e4d-9f14-4c57-9845-1dce0b541d8d).

This web map service is predominantly set up and maintained for delivery of visualisations through the eAtlas mapping portal (https://maps.eatlas.org.au). Other portals are free to use this service with attribution, provided you inform us with an email so we can let you know of any changes to the service.

This THREDDS Data Server software is hosted on a Amazon Web Services (AWS) server. Associated with each NetCDF dataset, there is a list of corresponding WMS layers, one for each data variable, which can be discovered by inspecting the corresponding GetCapabilities document. This XML document lists all the layers, a short descriptions and available rendering styles. Most WMS clients should be able to read those documents allowing easy access to all the variables for a given NetCDF dataset.

This services is operated by the Australian Institute of Marine Science and co-funded by the National Environmental Science Program Tropical Water Quality (NESP TWQ) Hub.

eAtlas通过THREDDS数据服务器（THREDDS Data Server, TDS）提供其NetCDF（网络通用数据格式，Network Common Data Form）数据文件，该服务器支持通过OPeNDAP、OGC WMS、OGC WCS、HTTP及其他远程数据访问协议实现元数据与数据的获取。

该服务提供与eAtlas项目（https://eatlas.org.au）相关的数据、元数据及地图图层。其数据聚焦于大堡礁及其邻近海岸、湿热带雨林与托雷斯海峡的环境研究。WMS服务所提供的地图图层，可与eAtlas网络地图服务（https://eatlas.org.au/data/uuid/71127e4d-9f14-4c57-9845-1dce0b541d8d）提供的图层等其他数据集结合，用于制作环境地图。

本网络地图服务主要为通过eAtlas地图门户（https://maps.eatlas.org.au）实现可视化交付而搭建并维护。其他门户在注明来源的前提下可免费使用该服务，但需通过邮件告知我方，以便我们向您通报服务的相关变更。

该THREDDS数据服务器软件托管于亚马逊网络服务（Amazon Web Services, AWS）服务器。每个NetCDF数据集均对应一组WMS图层，每个数据变量对应一个图层，可通过查看对应的GetCapabilities文档获取此类图层信息。该XML文档列出了所有图层、简短描述及可用渲染样式。多数WMS客户端均可读取此类文档，从而便捷访问指定NetCDF数据集的全部变量。

本服务由澳大利亚海洋科学研究所运营，并由国家环境科学计划热带水质中心（National Environmental Science Program Tropical Water Quality Hub, NESP TWQ）联合资助。
