  1. NOAA Environmental Information Services(NEIS) N-Wave Stakeholder MeetingMay 22nd, 2012 Jebb Q Stewart NOAA/OAR/ESRL/GSD

  2. What is NEIS?-- A framework of layered services designed to help NOAA’s mission by facilitating the discovery, access, integration,and understanding of all NOAA data (past, present, and future).

  3. Data Integration • Physical • Chemical • Biological Carbon Tracker FIM Biological, Chemical, and Physical data are all interrelated

  4. Lots of Great Technology Exists. xkcd.com • THREDDS LAS ERDDAP • Google Earth NASA World Wind GeoPortal • MERMAid REVERB iRODS • Grads Data Server OGC Services • More…

  5. NEIS Concept Take advantage of existing technology where we can to quickly find and access to data 100 of years in the past to 100 years in the future, from the top of the atmosphere to the bottom of the ocean in a single application. Framework provides capability to answer questions that require data from different data sources.

  6. New Visualization Tools • TerraViz – Created by GSD • A system developed from the ground up by GSD based on Unity3D. • There are no licensing restrictions in distributing the TerraViz executable. • Unity3D is a well supported commercial game and data visualization engine with 750,000 active users • Unity/C# is designed for 3D development, making it easy to create multiple views, create 3D meshes representing environmental objects, etc. • Develop once, then will run under Windows, Mac, web browsers, iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and even game systems (Wii, Xbox 360, etc.) • We can modify the user interface and add any feature we need. • TerraViz Handles millions of polygons and performs quickly • TerraViz is one possible visualization tool built to develop, test, and showcase NEIS framework. ESRL Global Systems Division

  7. Dealing with Big Data • Data are ever increasing in size. • New Polar Orbiting NPP data (~ 4 TB / day) • GOES-R • New Global Forecast Models, rapidly increasing in size. • We want to: • Minimize data we transfer. • Avoid data duplication. • Make data appear local to users. • Allow users to collaborate. ESRL Global Systems Division

  8. Looking to the Future • Build new Graphical User Interface system integrating and leveraging new and emerging technologies to meet NEIS goal ‘any data, any location, any platform, now’ • Perform processing within cloud environment and with high speed connectivity to data sources (N-Wave), taking advantage of large processing power within clouds. • Send graphics and server side processed/rendered/streamed data to GUI, improving bandwidth utilization. • Take advantage of fast networking to make remote requests and processing appear like local application. • Similar to how the new Amazon Silk Browser works.

  9. Demonstration

  10. Questions? Jebb.Q.Stewart@noaa.gov http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/neis

  11. Backup Slides

  12. NEIS – Features Integrates data from disparate data sources synchronized both temporally and geospatially. Quick access data through time using “Time Wheel” with dynamic time striding.

  13. NEIS - Features 3D KML with Metadata overlays Integrated data plotting

  14. NEIS - Features Annotation – Basic drawing capabilities Multiuser/Collaboration – real time screen sharing with web cams

  15. NEIS - Future What’s next? Understand more data access protocols. Eventually support ERDDAP and variety of OGC services Cross Service Processing Continued improvement for data discovering and searching More …

  16. NEIS/TerraViz in Action TerraViz – Developed by GSD is a show case of NEIS capabilities
