This github repository is for the development and maintenance of the Data Rods Explorer (DRE), by Gonzalo Espinoza, started in 2015. DRE is a web client app that enables users to browse several NASA-hosted data sets. The interface enables visualization and download of NASA observation retrievals and land surface model (LSM) outputs by variable, space and time. The key variables are precipitation, wind, temperature, surface downward radiation flux, heat flux, humidity, soil moisture, groundwater, runoff, and evapotranspiration. These variables describe the main components of the water cycle over land masses.

- Prototype ArcGIS Online web app showing GLDAS data rods for several hydromet variables. Clicking on a grid cell results in a popup with data service links to WaterML, Ascii tabular, and plot outputs of the time series at that cell.
