== Don't Have Any Knowledge About Tools and Data? ==

Want to try some out, do some real-time knowledge generation?

Here's what to do:
# Get a USB drive from Chris Lynnes with the Panoply tool on it.
# Start trying some online data in Panoply. Does it work or doesn't it?
# Here are some places to start:
## http://acdisc.gsfc.nasa.gov/opendap/
## http://daac.ornl.gov/thredds.shtml
## http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/catalog.html
## http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/opendap/ghrsst/
## http://opendap.jpl.nasa.gov/opendap/
# Use the Open Remote Catalog part of Panoply for a directory or THREDDS catalog.  Does it make a map?
# Now try to find the data in GCMD, so we can assign an identifier
