ODF runs a website on the ship's intranet that streamlines data distribution, data submission, and communication among the science party using the following features:
The front page contains a dashboard with estimated time of arrival while in-transit to the next station and a real-time track map.
While on-station, this widget displays and periodically refreshes the current wire-out, allowing scientists to see the current status of the cast from their workstations or bunks.
Preliminary processed sensor data, such as CTD salinity, is available immediately after the cast has completed.
Analysts can submit data through the website after discrete water samples have been processed, which automatically validates and merges data into a relational database.
