WHO: Cecelia,

This comes from the

Modeling and Data Infrastructure in Support of NOAA’s Global Models
Climate Program Office FY 2015 / NOAA-OAR-CPO-2015-2004099: MAPP - Advancing a Common Software Modeling and Data Infrastructure for NOAA's Global Models (ID 2488573) Proposal

From the Proposal:

Climate data product development and operation. We will continue development of a suite of interconnected capabilities for documenting, searching, accessing, and performing operations on climate data. A main task is to evolve the Earth System CoG collaboration environment, which is becoming the primary user interface to the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) distributed data archive, to support CMIP6 and other MIPs. Tasks will include integrating CoG with the visualization capabilities in GrADS

Many users are interested in visualizing data in this environment, and tasks will include integrating CoG with the visualization capabilities in the Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS; http://iges.org/grads/).

2016-Q2 Deploy CoG with ESGF and the ES-DOC questionnaire to support CMIP6, including integration with GrADS.

Question is whether we need the GrADS data server GDS:

or GrADS visualization
