In this manual we describe how to use data from an OpenEarth system that consists of a Subverison repository, an OPeNDAP server and a server with Google Earth feeds.

• Get the Google Earth file with the overview of the data from the kml server, e.g.:
  • Maps
    • Rijkswaterstaat JarKus
    • Rijkswaterstaat Vaklodingen
  • Time series
    • Rijkswaterstaat Waterbase (water levels, wave period/direction, water temperature, salinity, chlorofyll, suspended sediment)
    • KNMI wind
    • KNMI daily averaged meteo (wind, air temperature, sunshine, radiation, precipitation, air pressure, visibility, cloud cover, relative humidity, potential evapotransipration)

• Click on the placemark of the map or time serie you want to analyse, and then select the link THREDDS meta-info. Note: for the time series remember to drag the time ruler such that all times are available: drag the whole ruler first to the most recent data and then drag the left part of the ruler to the oldest date.

• In your browser the OPeNDAP meta-info page of the dataset will pop-up. You could also ave found this meta-info page by going down the OPeNDAP directory tree with a regular web brower staring at the top of the OPeNDAP three.

• Select all the in the box labeled Data URL.

• The 'DataURL' string can be used (copy, paste) to read the data directly from the web into various software packages, e.g.:
  • arcGIS
  • ncBrowse
  • Matlab
  • Python
  • R
  • Delft3D

Examples for these packages are given below:
