NEON, Inc. is awarded a grant to finalize the cyberinfrastructure component of the final design for the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). NEON is a continental research platform that will extend our understanding of the biosphere to regional and continental scales. NEON will be a ?shared-use? research platform of field deployed instrumented towers and sensor arrays, sentinel measurements, remote sensing capabilities, natural history archives, and facilities for data analysis, modeling, visualization, and forecasting, all networked onto a cyberinfrastructure backbone. Activities supported under this request are to (1) produce a detailed design as part of the requirements to establish readiness for construction of the NEON facility and (2) test and validate the design components with field implementations of sensors and cyberinfrastructure prototypes. The proposed work will define the parameters required to assure accurate and precise measurements with the goal of gaining a complete, clear, thorough and well-documented understanding of the science requirements as the foundation for developing a comprehensive description of the needs for the CI and operational support architectures. The project will seek to identify and address potential critical issues well before construction to minimize the costs in time and materials associated with any necessity of changing the design during or after the commencement of implementation or operations. The complexity of the relationships between data products, measurements, sensors, and the flow-down from Grand Challenge questions to research requirements will be documented with sophisticated analysis and a high degree of collaboration with NEON scientific staff, the CI team, operations staff as well as external scientific, engineering collaborators and equipment and software vendors.

氖公司获得一笔赠款，用于完成国家生态观测网（氖）最终设计的网络基础设施部分。氖是一个大陆研究平台，将我们对生物圈的理解扩展到区域和大陆规模。氖将是一个？共享使用？研究平台的现场部署仪表塔和传感器阵列，哨兵测量，遥感能力，自然历史档案和设施的数据分析，建模，可视化和预测，所有联网到网络基础设施骨干。 本申请所支持的活动包括：（1）制定详细设计，作为氖设施建设准备就绪要求的一部分;（2）通过传感器和网络基础设施原型的现场实施测试和确认设计组件。拟议的工作将确定确保准确和精确测量所需的参数，目标是对科学要求有一个完整、清晰、透彻和有据可查的理解，作为全面描述CI和业务支持架构需求的基础。该项目将力求在施工前及早查明和解决潜在的关键问题，以尽量减少在开始实施或运营期间或之后因需要改变设计而产生的时间和材料费用。数据产品、测量、传感器之间关系的复杂性，以及从大挑战问题到研究要求的流程，将通过复杂的分析和与氖科学人员、CI团队、运营人员以及外部科学、工程合作者和设备及软件供应商的高度合作来记录。
