Multiple datasets at the same location can't be accessed

[emontgomery-usgs]

In some of our experiments, several platforms have been deployed at the same site, but you can't zoom in enough to distinguish between them. In the image below, at Chapaquoit point, there should be 1073, 1075, 1094 (not yet ingested) all collected using the same bracket to hold the sensors. Now only the description balloon for 1075 is displayed

It would be nice to access all the individual datasets at a site.

This also impacts the display of data in Sandwich in 2016 and 2017. There was a bracket on a house that was used successively, so 1060, 1070, 1087, 1088 and 1096 all should be displayed here with air temperature and pressure. If you know enough to use the time slider you can see them all, but if you don't it looks like only data from 1070 is present, so not so great for discovery.

@kwilcox does the new portal framework handle datasets collected at the exact same location? The only way we can tell that there is more than one dataset is to restrict various times with the time slider. Maybe okay for someone who already knows the datasets are there, but not too great for anyone else....

I played around with the dev portal and I don't think there is a solution yet. @akbstone?

@kwilcox @emontgomery-usgs @rsignell-usgs - This hasn't been implemented in the dev portal yet. Our plan is to cluster points that overlap.

The new portal interface offers a few other ways to access and bookmark these resources:

• Spatial search: http://dev.axiomdatascience.com/?portal_id=35&ls=eb305ae0-0d4f-96af-8cec-a182b4bee220#search
• Source level metadata page: http://dev.axiomdatascience.com/?portal_id=35#metadata/86/sensor_source
• Station level metadata pages:
  -- http://dev.axiomdatascience.com/?portal_id=35#metadata/75295/station
  -- http://dev.axiomdatascience.com/?portal_id=35#metadata/75297/station
  -- http://dev.axiomdatascience.com/?portal_id=35#metadata/75385/station
• Data views - for example: http://dev.axiomdatascience.com/?portal_id=35&ls=eb305ae0-0d4f-96af-8cec-a182b4bee220#data/1

I'll update this ticket once the overlapping stations issue is resolved.

@akbstone , thanks so much for the update -- it's good to know the workarounds and what's being planned. Will leave this open for now.

@kwilcox, @akbstone
This issue is getting more and more important. Our recent experiments, w_gmaine in particular, had multiple occupations of several sites with different Mooring IDs for each. In the current system, the map only shows a subset of the data that's available.
