US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®) • IOOS® Plan defines: • Global Component • Coastal Component • 17 Federal Agencies • 11 Regional Associations
OOI Scientific Investigation Science Activity Model (Mar 2011 end)
The Problem • Each modeler has separate collection of scripts and procedures which are typically ad hoc, brittle and hard to maintain. • NCEP NAM: NOMADS/OPeNDAP =>NCO=>NetCDF • USGS Rivers: USGS/SOAP => XML • HFRADAR: Rutgers/OPeNDAP=>NetCDF • GTS CTD/XBT: AOML/Database query=>ASCII
Cloud Computing • Infrastructure as a Service • Compute Nodes • Storage • Present resources as infinite • Advantages • No capitalization of compute infrastructure • No operations of compute infrastructure • Very useful in development phase and during peak load • Easy to use, proven, quick turn around • Disadvantages • Higher costs during the operations phase • Reduced control of data, location, authority, security etc. • Existing Clouds • Commercial clouds: “Pay per use” and “allocation” model • Examples: Amazon EC2/EBS, Microsoft Azure, Google AppEngine etc.
Community Involvement Feedback on this plan Other data streams we should handle immediately? Plan to brief NFRA Modeling Committee regularly Wilkin (MARCOOS) has been identified as an ideal end-user modeler for participation (tech savvy, heavy data assimilation) We would like to add two others. Volunteers?
