Overlay ADCP data on interactive maps—fast.
An API-based web app that streams ADCP-derived products (transects, vectors, profiles) and overlays them directly on a map. Data is sourced from the Harvard Dataverse project.

Turn raw ADCP files and Dataverse records into map-ready layers with minimal friction.
Map-first overlays
Render transects, station points, and velocity vectors as layers. Designed for Leaflet/Mapbox clients.
Dataverse ingestion
Pull dataset metadata and files from Harvard Dataverse. Cache what you need, keep provenance intact.
API-driven products
Serve GeoJSON and derived summaries. Build repeatable outputs (vectors, bins, depth slices) from a consistent API.
Operational basics
Practical defaults so you can ship without regrets.
Performance
- Cache Dataverse responses and derived layers
- Precompute vector tiles or simplified GeoJSON for large tracks
- Paginate datasets and time ranges
Security
- Read-only endpoints for public datasets
- API keys for private datasets / rate limiting
- Strict CORS policy for the front-end origin
