Alaska Ocean Observing SystemDMAG Capabilities Data management and modeling
Overview • Data management • Modeling • Transfer • Access • Analysis • Visualization
Data Management Automation of… • Data transport (IN) • Storage and processing of new data • Product production • Data access; Data transport (OUT) • Data archive and safety • Metadata and data lineage
Modeling • Investigating ROMS modeling with biology & ice • Very experimental WRF-ARW runs in PWS, GOA, and SE Alaska • Infrastructure in place to allow automated runs of other models • Collaboration with AEFF • ARSC : near-operational WRF model run at 7.5 km statewide domain • Next challenges : • QA/QC of information for use as input to models • Data assimilation
Domains • ROMS (NEP/SEBS) • WRF-ARW @ AOOS/AEFF (PWS, GOA, SE) • WRF-ARW @ ARSC (NorthAlaska6) PWS 4km AEFF RAMS GRID #3 NorthAlaska6 7.5 km SEBS: Southeast Bering Sea SE 10 km GOA 10km
Data transport (IN) Active data transport • FTP : 137.229.40.79 • A specific username/password may be assigned • Strictly anonymous is also allowed • Scripting required to begin processing • RAMS/AEFF, webcams, monthly SWAN, cruise data
Data transport (IN) Passive data transport • AOOS grabs data • Straight up HTTP : OPeNDAP, screen scrape (NDBC) • Some other web service : SnoTel/AMBCS • FTP; OPeNDAP; … • Requires polling of remote server(s) • New data is detectable and leads to automatic processing
Access; Data transport (OUT) • Access to raw data for download and custom visualization (HTTP) • OPeNDAP services • Development of OGC GIS data protocols • Graphical front end : UMN Mapserver • WMS, WFS, and WCS layers : ArcIMS • Data Catalog Explorer (Query -> ASCII) • Metadata -> data ; Data -> metadata • Text, NetCDF, HDF and GIS shape file products can be created to user specifications • Maintain compatibility with IOOS protocols data transport, if possible
Access; Data transport (OUT) • Raw (HTTP) : http://ak.aoos.org/data/ • OPeNDAP : http://ak.aoos.org/dap/data/ • Data Catalog Explorer : • http://ak.aoos.org/op/data.php • UMN Mapserver (GIS) : beta • http://ak.aoos.org/xml/maps_i.php • Metadata : • http://ak.aoos.org/rest/metadata
Analysis Open source software • Specialized graphics will require porting from commercial applications to open source software • Computations that require special tools, IDL or Matlab, will increase licensing, support and general processing overhead • AOOS provides basic analysis • More complex analysis is driven by user requests and support (it must be automated)
Visualization • Data Catalog Explorer • GIS web application : UMN Mapserver • Metadata -> Data • Custom visualization products • Custom analysis products

Homework, action items, needs… • Get data and products to AOOS • Data: great, Graphics: ok; FTP, HTTP, OPeNDAP, IOOS protocol • Visualization needs • Send us examples of data and graphics • Snippets of code are also helpful • Data format and access needs • Special formats and/or structure need to be known in advance • Attempt to make it IOOS compatible • Data and products may be restricted • Automated, if static IP addressing is used • More difficult, if user authentication is required • Data and products can be delivered • If the process can be completely automated
