for time-series data(geojson format), provide a time-series comparison clipboard

[jcothran]

Within developing IOOS mapping products http://www.ioos.gov/data/welcome.html , there are some basic time-series display capabilites

http://assets.maracoos.org/ shows time-series window panel and selection of individually active query layers

http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/pacioos/voyager/ shows a pop-up similarly for recent time-series for an individually selected map

both of the above sites use 'flot' http://people.iola.dk/olau/flot/examples/ for graphing purposes

Interested in a suggested or supported way in madrona to pipe time-series selection from multiple layer queries(say recent salinity, temps from several in-situ vs model projected salinity, etc) into a time-series window panel for variable comparison. Something like a time-series clipboard displaying like variables on the same graph legend and non-like on separate graphs.

In-house convention here is to format time-series data to 'obsJSON' for reference by javascript.

Might also want to take a look at THREDDS/ncWMS query responses in xml responses for time-series and line transects for model data
