This software contains the v1.0.0 release of Nilas: the south ocean mapping platform (https://nilas.org). This mapping tool (beta) has been developed by the Australian Antarctic Division for the Antarctic sea-ice zone to support their research and operational activities. Nilas displays multiple layers of physical and biogeochemical variables. These variables are primarily derived from remotely sensed products and updated as source data become available. The source code is well documented with both readme files and inline comments. This application is written primarily in javascript and was developed using Node.js, vite and a small amount of vue. The Nilas platform was based on the Leaflet open source library. It can be configured to display other Antarctic related geospatial products including raster and vector data. See the related record, "AAS_4506_NILAS_DATA" for data from this project.
