ARI: Acquisition of High Capacity On-line Data Storage and Computer Visualization Systems for Improved Access to Deep Submergence, Multibeam Sonar and Marine Seismic Data

该ARI奖提供资金，用于购置高容量在线数据存储和计算机可视化系统，以改进对世界卫生组织国家深潜设施收集的深潜数据的获取，并用于该机构内其他小组获得的多波束声纳和海洋地震数据。该项目的目标是使他们的数据检索和存档能力现代化，并显著提高研究所内和美国学术界的研究人员和教育工作者访问这些数据集的能力，以供学生和教师进行处理、分析和解释，并用于教育用途。为实现这一目标，私人投资机构申请资金购买Metrum Super VHS大容量存储系统及相关外围设备，以提供(1TB)的在线数据存储，用于深海潜水、海波束和海洋地震数据，这些数据由世界卫生组织内的几个不同小组收集。他们还要求一些输入/输出设备将大大改善当地和通过互联网获取深海潜水和地球物理数据的情况。

This ARI award provides funds for the acquisition of high-capacity, on-line data storage and computer visualization systems for improved access to deep submergence data collected by the National Deep Submergence Facility at WHOI and for multibeam sonar and marine seismic data obtained by other groups within the Institution. The goal for this project is to modernize their data retrieval and archiving capabilities and to markedly improve the ability of investigators and educators both within the Institution, and in the US academic community to access these datasets for processing, analysis and interpretation, and educational use by students and teachers. To achieve this goal, the PIs request funds to acquire a Metrum Super VHS mass storage system, and associated peripherals, to provide (1 terabyte of on-line data storage for deep submergence, Sea Beam and marine seismic data collected by several different groups within WHOI. They also are requesting a number of I/O devices will significantly improve access to deep submergence and geophysical data both locally and via the Internet.
