Re: [thredds] References for OPeNDAP usage in Scientific Community

NOAA/NMFS/SWFSC/ERD serves about 400 GB of data per month via OPeNDAP (THREDDS and ERDDAP). ERD servers often get 8,000,000 hits (page requests and service requests) per month. ERD's record number of hits in an hour is 447238 (which is 124 hits per second). ERD data services are accessed by about 20,000 unique IP addresses each month.

Greetings!

I'm interested in getting a feel for how widely or frequently used
OPeNDAP is in the scientific community (or even just the atmospheric
sciences).  I've been searching for most of the morning and am
struggling to find any (recent) articles that discuss just how much
OPeNDAP is used from a client standpoint.

I see statements that there is a broad community of OPeNDAP users, but
it would be nice to see if there are data or references to support this
claim.  If no such references exist, I would be very interested in
hearing experiential or anecdotal accounts from data providers or users
on this list with regard to OPeNDAP usage.

Many thanks!
