Summary:The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) uses the Spatial Temporal Oceanographic Query System (STOQS) to manage data from its muli-platform observational campaigns. By using geospatial relational database technology STOQS solves the fundamental problem of providing efficient access to mobile platform data, while also handling in situ measurements from stationary platforms. Because it embraces existing standards and conventions it easily integrates into existing workflows. STOQS includes a modern web-based user interface providing sophisticated tools for deep exploration of multidisciplinary data sets. Direct programmatic access using the Python programming language allows for detailed visualization and analysis of large and diverse data sets. STOQS is a 100% open source project, free for anyone to use.
