+= Search of ESGF Climate Data =
 A search in ESGF returns the records that matching the search constraints after querying to  an index node. The ESGF search service is always served by a index node and this node is able to do local and distributed searches. In this tool, the distributed capabilities of the ESGF are used so any selected index node will be used to query all nodes in the ESGF system.

 The tree of parameters shows the parameters with bounded values which are defined by the federation. In the first level is the name of the parameter and the number of its bounded values.

 After adding new parameters the search panel is updated (“Add parameters” button). Now in the tree, all parameters that already have values configured only shows this values. This happens because the allowed values ​​for a parameter are always those that do not result in an empty set if they are selected.

 The metadata harvesting will allow, after completed, download the datasets from multiple data nodes, and will allow exploring climate datasets without having to download the dataset itself . So we can know its nature in detail before selecting them to download or we can know the services offered from ESGF to access and/or explore the dataset. Some of these services can be explored from ToolsUI NetCDF Java as will be explained after.
