| Description | A brief overview of the philosophy, design, and organization of the Pilot Climate Data System (PCDS) is presented. The design has evolved, over time, to deal with numerous data sets, provide appropriate tools for the manipulation and display of such data, and support a wide variety of users. The user interface to the system is provided by the Transportable Applications Executive (TAE). A user can choose one of the five major subsystems from the root menu display. These subsystems are CATALOG, INVENTORY, DATA ACCESS, DATA MANIPULATION, and GRAPHICS. Each subsystem was discussed and examples were given, demonstrating the flexibility provided by the existing PCDS software, Version 3.3. Three of these subsystems are presently being redesigned to provide a more flexible and friendly structure, to allow more consistency and facilitate the ability to support new data sets. Ongoing developmental efforts to migrate from the Version 3.3 prototype phase of PCDS to the operational Version 4.0 stress increased flexibility and data independence. |
