Data & Information Management Services for the U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean Program

摘要/ abstract摘要：Peter H. wiebe提案号：0739707标题：美国GLOBEC南大洋项目的数据与信息管理服务极地项目办公室、南极科学部、生物与生态系统和海洋与大气科学项目为支持GLOBEC及相关数据的持续合成所做的数据管理工作，授予该奖项。全球海洋生态系统动力学（GLOBal Ocean ECosystem Dynamics， GLOBEC）是由SCOR和联合国教科文组织IOC于1991年共同发起的，是国际地圈-生物圈计划（IGBP）的核心项目。全球海洋生态系统的目的是促进对全球海洋生态系统的结构和功能、其主要子系统及其对物理强迫的反应的了解，以便能够发展预测海洋生态系统对全球变化的反应的能力。美国南大洋GLOBEC项目包括对影响主要海洋动物种群的物理和生物过程的研究。实地阶段在2001-2003年进行，从一系列不同的多学科观测中产生了大量的新数据。综合阶段正在进行中，预计还将进行泛区域GLOBEC综合。这些努力需要在更大的解释框架内获得数据和观察结果。根据该合同，数据管理服务的核心将继续利用美国联合全球海洋通量/GLOBEC项目开发的方法和经验，为分布式客户端提供基于网络的分布式数据流服务。在这个系统下，任何可以访问网络浏览器的人都可以访问这些数据。资料不受密码保护，但用户须遵守网站上的资料确认政策。数据管理处还协助执行提交数据的适当程序，并提供、维持和改进用于绘图和地质统计评价等任务的数据工具。地理空间参考可视化将集成到数据服务中。数据质量控制是数据提供者的责任，但数据管理办公室确实确保元数据的质量和完整性。该办公室还编制和提交元数据目录交换格式（DIF）文件，以便发布到南极总目录。更广泛的影响：该项目将促进南大洋GLOBEC数据的综合，包括通过确保广泛的社区获得完整的数据，整合多学科科学。除了继续支持南大洋GLOBEC综合之外，它还将帮助确保获得比较数据，以帮助美国GLOBEC计划的泛区域综合阶段，以及不断发展的努力，以整合整个南大洋的科学认识。该项目将与生物和化学海洋学数据管理处进行合作和协调，以确保在GLOBEC社区之外也能获得这些数据。经验表明，易于访问数据的网络已经引起了高中生和大学生对GLOBEC项目的兴趣，数据管理办公室将继续通过回应对进一步项目信息的请求来培养这种兴趣。

AbstractPI: Peter H. WiebeProposal Number: 0739707Title: Data & Information Management Services for the U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean ProgramThe Office of Polar Programs, Antarctic Science Division, Organisms & Ecosystems and Ocean & Atmospheric Science Programs have made this award for continuation of data management efforts in support of ongoing syntheses of GLOBEC and related data. GLOBEC (GLOBal Ocean ECosystem Dynamics) was initiated by SCOR and the IOC of UNESCO in 1991 and is an International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) core project. The aim of GLOBEC is to advance understanding of the structure and functioning of the global ocean ecosystem, its major subsystems, and its response to physical forcing so that a capability can be developed to forecast the responses of the marine ecosystem to global change. US Southern Ocean GLOBEC entailed the study of physical and biological processes that influence key populations of marine animals. The field phase took place in 2001-2003 and produced a large amount of new data from a diverse set of multi-disciplinary observations. A synthesis phase is in process and a Pan-Regional GLOBEC Synthesis is also anticipated. These efforts require that data and observations are available within a larger interpretive framework. Under this award, the core of the data management service will continue to provide for web-based serving of distributed data streams to distributed clients using a system that leverages the approach and experience developed under the US Joint Global Ocean Fluxes/GLOBEC Programs. Under this system, anyone in the broader community with access to a web browser has access to the data. The data are not password protected but users are asked to abide by the Data Acknowledgement Policy given on the web site. The data management office also assists with proper procedures for submission of data and makes available, maintains and improves data tools for tasks like plotting and geostatistical evaluation. Geospatially referenced visualization will be integrated into the data service. Data quality control is the responsibility of the data providers although the data management office does ensure the quality and completeness of the metadata. The office also prepares and submits metadata Directory Interchange Format (DIF) files for posting to the Antarctic Master Directory. Broader impacts: This project will facilitate Southern Ocean GLOBEC data synthesis involving integration of multidisciplinary science through assuring complete data access to the broad community. In addition to continued support of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC synthesis, it will help to assure access to comparative data in aid of a Pan-Regional Synthesis phase of the U.S. GLOBEC Program as well as evolving efforts to integrate scientific understanding across the full Southern Ocean. This project will cooperate and coordinate with the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office to ensure that the data are accessible beyond the GLOBEC community. Experience has shown that the web presence with easy data access has engendered interest in the GLOBEC program by high school and college students that the data management office will continue to foster by responding to requests for further program information.
