Choosing a Dataset

There are currently 4 default datasets immediately available, but any dataset present in the datafed wiki RSS catalog may be brought into the application.

To choose a dataset from the catalog, select "Choose new dataset" from either map's dataset drop down menu. GridComp_new_dataset.PNG The Grid datasets from the datafed catalog will pop up in a new window.

From here, you may search for values in a number of fields, view the dataset's metadata, or select the dataset to bring it into the Grid Comparison Tool application. GridComp_catalog.PNG

Choosing a Time

Once you have selected a dataset, you will notice the time range available for that dataset and the frequency of data. GridComp_time_print.png
