SAIDIN: SAtellite Image Database INterface

Within the tasks devoted to operational oceanography, a tool has been developed to access, visualize and distribute satellite data from an HPRT receiving station located in the Institut de Ciencies del Mar (CMIMA-CSIC). The tool generically called SAIDIN (SAtellite Image Database INterface) has been developed with the purpose to access and provide data to a wide spectrum of users. New improvements have been made in order to provide facilities that could be of great potential interest within monitoring tasks in accidental marine pollution discharges. SAIDIN has been integrated as a viewer of THREDDS (Thematic Realtime Environmental Distributed Data Services) catalog of UNIDATA.
