Abstract
The TAO Array is a major component of the TOGA ocean observation program, consisting of an array of approximately 65 ATLAS and current meter moorings, spanning the Pacific Basin from 95"W in the eastern Pacific to 137/spl deg/E in the west. The TAO Display Software display system has been developed to provide the scientist with displays of the real-time data from the TAO array of buoys in a modern, point-and-click Unix workstation environment. Users have access to displays of the real-time TAO data sets and animations of data from the TAO buoys, the NMC Operational Analyses model, climatological averages and selected related data sets. The most recent release of the TAO software has widened data access to include gridded historical data sets, with extensive user control of graphical displays. The TAO Display Software, and the newly updated data files are available on Internet, and have been requested by oceanographic and meteorological institutions world wide.<>Keywords
