SCISAT project remastered

Initially designed for a CSA challenge. SCISAT posed lots of interesting challenges, both scientific and technical. At the time of the competition, our team lacked the required technical knowledge to truly exhibit the power of data. The remastered project addresses this exact issue. SCISAT collects atmospheric data on varius gases. Our project concentrates on visualizing the data from the Ozone gas. Along with the visualization we have also provided a public api endpoint for everyone wishing to use the data we have collected.

API Usage

There is one main endpoint: /api/Data
Here's a sample usage of the api: /api/Data?q=2004-03

This api call will return all data recorded in the time period "2004-03".
You can query for various dates in the 2004-03 to 2010-12 range. Pass the query date string to the paremter q as shown in the example.
