The REINAS Project is "a distributed measurement-gathering environment built around one or more relational database systems and supporting both real-time and retrospective regional scale environmental science." Based at the University of California at Santa Cruz, in cooperation with meteorological and oceanographic scientists from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), the REINAS Project homepage offers a wealth of information. At the site, users will gain access to real-time and historical data, maps of the Monterey Bay region, demonstrations (including a map of all REINAS sensors), software, and publications (some online, some in .pdf format), among other information. While the project is still under development, the automated real-time data bases offer a glimpse into one of the best science uses of the Web.
