| Description | The Pilot Climate Data System (PCDS) not only supports the ability to output data in a uniform structure via the Common Data Format (CDF, but also supports the ability to provide data in native format for any data set supported by the PCDS. Methods are discussed for acquiring data in either format from the PCDS for further work at remote sites. Four levels of remote utilization are defined, based on the extent of offloading the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) computer and local PCDS processing. Characteristics of each level are thoroughly explained, including details of information and data transfers, downloading, uploading, and offloading of the NSSDC computer. Only the levels themselves are specified here. The first level defined is that of a network-based distributed PCDS. A subset of the PCDS software is ported to another VAX and made available on a network (i.e., SPAN) node. There is no subset of the PCDS at the second level, but it is also network based. Non-network utilization of the PCDS, requiring dial-up log on, is denoted as a third level. Finally, at the fourth level, personal computer utilization of the PCDS through dial-up log on with proper terminal emulation is defined. |
