Query language for the profiler data system

A set of atmospheric measuring instruments were developed by some scientists at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (N.O.A.A.). These atmospheric measuring instruments developed constitute what is called a "Profiler." Data from Profilers around the state of Colorado were being brought back to a central computer at N.O.A.A. in Boulder, Colorado. There was no user friendly interface for nonprogrammers as well as programmers to access Profiler data. It was believed that a query language would be a useful utility to make available to users. On this consensus, an Interpreter was developed to interface the user with the Profiler data base. The goal of the Interpreter developed was to allow flexibility and make it easy and natural to use for any users with any level of computer expertise.
