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

该研究所的这份合同提供资金，用于购置大容量在线数据储存和计算机可视化系统，以更好地获取世界卫生组织国家深潜设施收集的深潜数据，以及该研究所其他小组获得的多波束声纳和海洋地震数据。 该项目的目标是使其数据检索和存档能力现代化，并显着提高研究人员和教育工作者的能力，无论是在机构内，在美国学术界访问这些数据集的处理，分析和解释，并由学生和教师的教育用途。为实现这一目标，项目负责人要求提供资金，以购置Metrum Super VHS大容量存储系统和相关外围设备，为WHOI内几个不同小组收集的深潜、海射和海洋地震数据提供1 TB的在线数据存储。 他们还要求提供一些输入/输出设备，这些设备将大大改善在当地和通过互联网获取深潜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.
