GPS Explorer: Overview and Extension to INDIGO geoapp.ucsd

1. GPS Explorer: Overview and Extension to INDIGOhttp://geoapp.ucsd.edu Paul Jamason | Scripps Orbit and Permanent Array Center (SOPAC ) IGS Analysis Center Workshop, Miami, 2008

2. GPS Explorer Background • NASA REASoN project to provide GPS data products/services using new web technologies/standards • project overview: http://reason.scign.org • java-based web portal; web 2.0 (mapping, inter-portlet communication) • develop common formats (xml) and methods (web services) for improved metadata and data exchange • Geophysical Resource Web Services: http://reason.scign.org/scignDataPortal/grwsSummary.jsp • NASA MOSES project to allow users to perform modeling in a portal context • application of various time series models

3. GPS Explorer Framework • Uses the • JSR-168 compliant portlets (java-based windows in portal with user controls; distributable to other portals) • user logins; save data/results for future viewing • standard look/feel across pages; easy configuration • Employs a workflow/dashboard approach • users select and save groups of GPS sites via mapping portlet. Data queries, modeling operations are performed throughout portal on saved groups. • Inter-portlet communication • Dynamic content produced via calls to back-end web services

4. GPS Explorer Portal: Mapping • SOMI: Scripps Online Mapping Interface • University of Minnesota MapServer; input data layers stored at SOPAC (e.g., fault lines) • interactive velocity vectors • users can draw bounding boxes to select sites • recent performance optimization • Migrating to OpenLayers • open source API • user community • utilize non-google data layers • MapServer; tile caching

5. GPS Explorer Portal: Products • Processed GPS coordinates • millions of xyz coordinates from SOPAC/JPL/REASON combination/PBO • dynamically queryable and exportable to urls • GPS Time Series • layer time series from different sources/sites via Java Applet • display time series dynamically by clicking sites on map • Velocities • view/layer velocity vectors for various sources/reference frames • Strain Maps • under development

7. GPS Explorer Portal: Geophysical Resource Web Services • Standardized approach to data submission/retrieval • Inter-agency data exchange • Use XML standards • Geography Markup Language (GML): represent features/geometry/reference systems/time • observation collections; filter encoding • transfer XML via SOAP/web services • alternatives: JSON, REST • Advantages: • Independent server-side code. call web services from other web pages/sites, command-line utilities, etc. • Adaptable - e.g., REASoN -> INDIGO: new web services

11. GPS Explorer Portal: INDIGO • SOPAC and INDIGO • Inter-service Data Integration for Geodetic Operations • systems enabling the simultaneous use of multiple space geodetic techniques • Utilize IT resources and JPL collaboration in support of IGS • Potential development areas: • Include all GNSS sites at CDDIS/JPL/IGN (GSAC) • Extend GPS Explorer capabilities to include SLR/VLBI/DORIS • Site mapping • Common data exploration/visualization tools • Incorporate GPS products into (next-generation?) GSAC • Provide web services wrapper to GSAC

12. GPS Explorer Portal: Future • Focus on IGS support via INDIGO • How can GPSE serve as common interface for user access to data/metadata? • Add “Products” tab • Portal name change? • Evaluate/implement feedback from user survey, NASA website developers • Ingest/display new data sources • Cross-browser compatibility • Javascript development • Evaluate other portal frameworks (JBOSS) • Interactive Strain Maps
