IDL Used in NASA's SeaWIFS Project Customer Challenge Because of the highly distributed nature of the user base for data provided by the SeaWiFS project, NASA needed to develop a custom application that would allow scientists around the globe to access the remote sensing data over the Internet and analyze the data in a manner that consistently adheres to rigid scientific standards. Solution Achieved In the 1990s, prior to the start of the SeaWiFS Project, NASA provided scientists with platform specific UNIX based applications to allow those with older computers to handle and analyze the large image files. Not only were significant development resources required to design and maintain these applications, but the applications were complex and difficult for end users to work with. SeaDAS is t
