The TAO array consists of approximately 70 ATLAS and current meter moorings spanning the Equatorial Pacific Ocean measuring oceanographic and meteorological data. It is a major component of the Global Climate Observation System. The TAO Project Office at PMEL in Seattle, Washington has developed interactive systems which allow users to access and display the TAO real-time as well as historical data. The most recent developments include a JavaScript-backed real-time, interactive web access which adds flexibility to the data selection and enables users to customize plots by specifying parameter, time and depth ranges. Underlying Common Gateway Interface (CGI) procedures have been replaced with Java Servelets, which are faster and more robust for generating data plots dynamically via the World Wide Web.
