JPL Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PODAAC) Dataset Metadata API

PO.DAAC provides several ways to discover and access physical oceanography data, from the PO.DAAC Web Portal to FTP access to front-end user interfaces (see http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov). That same data can also be discovered and accessed through PO.DAAC Web Services, enabling efficient machine-to-machine communication and data transfers.
