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

海洋物理和生物地球化学性质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、通量和输送；表层和深层洋流的计算和模拟。目前，两个独立的数据设施正在为各自的项目提供全球水文数据。Argois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、压力和一系列新兴的生物地球化学测量。CLIVAR和碳水文数据办公室(CCHDO)提供来自全球海洋船基水文调查计划(GO-SHIP)的船舶数据，提供重复访问相同地点的参考质量的温度和盐度数据，以及来自分析的水样的大量示踪剂、营养物质和化学数据。这项拟议的工作将在这两个系统之间建立互操作性，允许科学家搜索、访问和处理这两个设施的数据。该项目建立在过去和当前对Argois和Go-Ship技术的投资基础上，得到了Seaview EarthCube集成活动跨海洋数据设施集成的经验的启发。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，否则使用简单的文件归档是不可能的。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Argois用户继续使用他们熟悉的界面，并增加搜索和集成Go-Ship数据的能力，这些数据来自用户定义的与Argois数据的接近程度。Go-Ship用户同样将能够从GOSHIP网站无缝过渡到新工具，并访问Go-Ship线路或感兴趣的剖面附近的Argois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核心支持涵盖。这一奖励反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
