There is so much data and so many places to go looking for it that data discovery is a perpetual problem for Southern Ocean scientists.

The POLDER Federated Metadata Search App is a customizable federated search website. It is an easy to use, fast, accessible site that is tailored to this specific community and responds to its needs.
