This proposal presents a new approach to improve data preservation and accessibility ? the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) Project ? a comprehensive plan for fleet-wide data management. R2R will be a central shore-side data gateway through which underway data from each expedition are routinely cataloged and transmitted from UNOLS ship operators to long-term national archives. R2R will provide essential data documentation services including the production of standardized cruise-level metadata, data inventories, navigation products, and an operations report for every expedition. Tools for routine logging of over-the-side sensor deployments and sampling stations will be developed and deployed to facilitate creation of a sampling ?event log? for each cruise. In partnership with the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS; http://samos.coaps.fsu.edu/) Data Assembly Center (DAC), R2R protocols will be established for near real-time transfer and automated Quality Assessment (QA) of meteorological and thermosalinograph data providing direct feedback to operators while the cruise is underway. R2R will coordinate the development of routines for post-cruise QA of underway data types, with initial development focused on geophysical sensors (multibeam sonar, subbottom profilers, magnetics, gravity), and subsequent expansion to other sensors (CTD, ADCP, etc). Using R2R tools, underway data will be categorized and sufficiently documented for submission to long-term National Data Centers (NDCs) operated by NOAA, and to DACs specialized in the reduction and analysis of specific data types. Our approach will be to leverage and augment the existing centralized information resources of the UNOLS office, ship operators, and NDCs to facilitate the documentation and delivery of oceanographic data from ?rolling deck? to ?repository.? Our vision is that working directly with ship operators and technicians will ensure more complete and consistent acquisition, quality, preservation, and dissemination of these high-value data, thereby transforming the academic fleet into an integrated global observing system. Broader Impacts: Access to research vessels is becoming increasingly more expensive and difficult. The R2R project will help to leverage these costs for the benefit of the entire ocean science community and any other potential users of the data that will be routinely collected, checked and properly archived. As the proposers state, this will essentially make the UNOLS fleet an observatory system that will have coastal, regional and global scope, providing data sets useful to current and future researchers. Going forward with this project, even though it may seem expensive will in the long run make our investment in the research vessels, instrumentation and operational costs much more cost effective.

该提案提出了一种改进数据保存和可访问性的新方法 ?滚动甲板到存储库 (R2R) 项目？整个车队数据管理的综合计划。 R2R 将成为一个中央岸侧数据网关，通过该网关，每次探险的航行数据都会被例行编目，并从 UNOLS 船舶运营商传输到长期国家档案。 R2R 将提供必要的数据文档服务，包括为每次探险制作标准化巡航级元数据、数据清单、导航产品和运营报告。将开发和部署用于对侧面传感器部署和采样站进行例行记录的工具，以方便创建采样“事件日志”。每次巡航。将与船上自动化气象和海洋学系统（SAMOS；http://samos.coaps.fsu.edu/）数据组装中心（DAC）合作，建立R2R协议，用于气象和热盐仪数据的近实时传输和自动质量评估（QA），在巡航过程中向操作员提供直接反馈。 R2R 将协调航行后数据类型质量保证例程的开发，最初的开发重点是地球物理传感器（多波束声纳、海底剖面仪、磁学、重力），随后扩展到其他传感器（CTD、ADCP 等）。使用 R2R 工具，将对正在进行的数据进行分类并充分记录，以便提交给 NOAA 运营的长期国家数据中心 (NDC) 以及专门负责减少和分析特定数据类型的 DAC。我们的方法将是利用和增强 UNOLS 办公室、船舶运营商和 NDC 现有的集中信息资源，以促进“滚动甲板”海洋学数据的记录和交付。到“存储库”。我们的愿景是，直接与船舶运营商和技术人员合作，将确保这些高价值数据的获取、质量、保存和传播更加完整和一致，从而将学术船队转变为一个综合的全球观测系统。更广泛的影响：使用研究船变得越来越昂贵和困难。 R2R 项目将有助于利用这些成本，造福整个海洋科学界以及定期收集、检查和正确存档的数据的任何其他潜在用户。正如提议者所说，这将从本质上使 UNOLS 舰队成为一个具有沿海、区域和全球范围的观测系统，为当前和未来的研究人员提供有用的数据集。继续推进这个项目，尽管看起来可能很昂贵，但从长远来看，将使我们在研究船、仪器和运营成本方面的投资更具成本效益。
