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

这项ARI奖励为购买高容量、在线数据存储和计算机可视化系统提供资金，以改善对WHOI国家深潜设施收集的深潜数据的访问，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。该项目的目标是使他们的数据检索和存档能力现代化，并显著提高该机构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，以便对这些数据集进行处理、分析和解释，并供学生和教师使用。为了实现这一目标，pi要求资金购买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、海波束和海洋地震数据提供1tb的在线数据存储。他们还要求一些I/O设备，这些设备将大大改善本地和通过互联网访问深水和地球物理数据的能力。

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.
