Collaborative Research: EarthCube Data Capabilities: Rapid response to existing community demand through next generation web infrastructure to integrate Argo and GO-SHIP

海洋物理和地球化学特性的水文测量支持广泛的研究，包括碳含量和吸收;海洋热含量，通量和运输;表面和深层电流计算和建模。目前，有两个独立的数据设施为各自的方案提供全球水文数据。Argovis为全球Argo浮标阵列的数据提供了访问和工具，这些浮标描绘了海洋的轮廓，以记录温度，盐度，压力和一套新兴的海洋地球化学测量。CLIVAR和碳水文数据办公室（CCHDO）服务于全球海洋船舶水文调查计划（GO-SHIP）的船舶数据，提供重复访问相同地点的参考质量温度和盐度数据，以及来自分析水样的大量示踪剂，营养素和化学数据。该项目将建立在Argovis和GO-SHIP技术过去和现在的投资基础上，并借鉴SeaView EarthCube Integrative Activity在海洋数据设施集成方面的经验。作为拟议基础设施的一部分，数据库将通过新的API功能提供动态数据选择，并允许在Web应用程序上进行可视化、协同定位和比较，否则简单的文件存档是不可能的。该项目将与当代网络标准和做法保持一致。互操作性将允许Argovis用户继续使用他们熟悉的界面，并增加了从用户定义的接近Argovis数据的位置搜索和集成GO-SHIP数据的能力。GO-SHIP用户同样能够从GOSHIP网站无缝过渡到新工具，并在GO-SHIP线路或感兴趣的配置文件附近访问Argovis数据。项目成果将具有内在的可持续性：开发完成后，一些工具的长期维护将由持续的GO-SHIP核心支持覆盖。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Hydrographic measurements of physical and biogeochemical properties in the ocean support broad research, including carbon content and uptake; ocean heat content, fluxes, and transport; surface and deep current calculations and modeling. At present, two separate data facilities are serving global hydrographic data for their respective programs. Argovis provides access and tools for data from the global array of Argo floats, which profile the oceans to record temperature, salinity, pressure, and an emerging set of biogeochemical measurements. The CLIVAR and Carbon Hydrographic Data Office (CCHDO) serves vessel-based data from the global Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP), providing reference-quality temperature and salinity data from repeated visits to the same locations, plus a large set of tracer, nutrient, and chemical data from analyzed water samples. The proposed work will create interoperability across these two systems, allowing scientists to search, access, and work with data from both facilities.This project builds on past and current investments in Argovis and GO-SHIP technologies, informed by the SeaView EarthCube Integrative Activity’s experience integrating across ocean data facilities. As part of the proposed infrastructure, the databases will deliver dynamic data selection via new API capabilities and allow visualizations, co-location, and comparison on web applications otherwise not possible with simple file archives. The project will be aligned with contemporary web standards and practices. Interoperability will allow Argovis users to continue using the interface they are familiar with, with the added ability to search and integrate GO-SHIP data from a user-defined proximity to data in Argovis. GO-SHIP users will similarly be able to transition seamlessly to the new tools from the GOSHIP website and access Argovis data near GO-SHIP lines or profiles of interest. Project outcomes will be inherently sustainable: after development, the long-term maintenance of some of the tools will be covered by the ongoing GO-SHIP core support.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
