The goal of this project is to develop a practical cyberinfrastructure prototype to facilitate the study of the way in which multiple environmental factors, including climatic variability, affect major ecosystems along an elevation gradient from coastal California to the summit of the Sierra Nevada. An understanding of the coupling between the strength of the California upwelling system and terrestrial ecosystem carbon exchange is the central scientific question. Additional scientific goals are to better understand the way in which atmospheric dust is transported to Lake Tahoe and an examination of carbon flux in the coastal zone as moderated by upwelling processes. The geographic context is one in which there is a diversity of ecosystems that are believed to be sensitive to climatological changes. The dispersion and complexity of the data needed to answer the scientific questions motivate the development of a state-of-the-art cyberinfrastructure so facilitate the scientific research. This cyberinfrastructure will be based around the integration of access to distributed and varied data collections and data streams, semantic registration of data, models and analysis tools, semantically-aware data query mechanisms, and an orchestration system for advanced scientific workflows. Access to this cyberinfrastructure will be provided through a web-based portal.

该项目的目标是开发一个实用的网络基础设施原型，以促进研究多种环境因素，包括气候变异性，如何影响从加利福尼亚州沿海到内华达山脉山顶的海拔梯度上的主要生态系统。了解加州上升流系统的强度与陆地生态系统碳交换之间的耦合是核心的科学问题。其他科学目标是更好地了解大气粉尘被输送到太浩湖的方式，并检查受上升流过程控制的沿海地区的碳通量。地理环境是指被认为对气候变化敏感的各种生态系统。回答科学问题所需数据的分散性和复杂性推动了最先进的网络基础设施的发展，从而促进了科学研究。这一网络基础设施将基于对分布式和多样化的数据集合和数据流的访问、数据、模型和分析工具的语义注册、语义感知的数据查询机制以及高级科学工作流程的协调系统的整合。将通过基于网络的门户网站提供对这一网络基础设施的访问。
