National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California JPL Science Data System Program: PO.DAAC UWG Dan Crichton, Emily Law, Gary Lau March 2012
Overview • Thanks to the ESDIS management and the UWG for their support of PO.DAAC • As a member of the ESDIS-DAAC enterprise, we value this opportunity to meet • Excellent progress with PO.DAAC over the past year • Aquarius launch • New visualizations (SOTO, SOTE) • Access to data • Science support • Exploration of new ideas/technologies • Help us be strategic for the future • What’s working? What’s not working? • What should we improve? What about next 3-5 year horizon? JPL Data System Activities
Interesting Trend Areas from Program Office Perspective • Highly distributed, multi-organizational systems • Systems are moving towards loosely coupled systems or federations in order to solve science problems which span center and institutional environments • Sharing of data and services which allow for the discovery, access, and transformation of data • Systems are moving towards publishing of services and data in order to address data and computationally-intensive problems • Infrastructures which are being built to handle future demand • Address complex modeling, inter-disciplinary science and decision support needs • Need a dynamic environment where data and services can be used quickly as the building blocks for constructing predictive models and answering critical science questions • Building open source data system networks leveraging commodity services (e.g., cloud computing for processing, etc) JPL Data System Activities
Focus … • Continue and evolve PO.DAAC to be a national resource for the oceanographic community • Establish partnerships between the data system and science communities • Be innovative in the use of data system technologies to enable science analysis • Collaborate and leverage data system activities both within and outside JPL • Ensure the PO.DAAC resources are effectively being used to achieve this mission JPL Data System Activities
