Sustainability: Long-term Deployment Sustainability Strategy for Argovis

Argovis是一个网站和数据库（argovis.colorado.edu），它首次允许用户轻松访问与地球气候和海洋地球化学研究相关的海洋和天气数据的区域和时间子集，提高这些数据的协同定位能力，并加速气候科学工作流程，推广和教育。Argovis中的数据可以在浏览器上可视化，也可以直接导入到所选的编程环境中进行科学分析。Argovis强调促进跨数据集的数据访问和协同定位能力，因此能够促进多学科研究，支持造福社会的社区努力，并通过提高不同利益攸关方的海洋素养，在增加海洋知识和理解的使用方面发挥关键作用。这是2021-2030年联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年的预期成果之一。该项目为Argovis实施了一项可持续发展战略，确保长期的Argovis为用户提供的工具和资源的长期稳定性，利用不同机构的长期计算和维护资源。此外，Argovis与教育工作者合作，创建和传播利用数据支持科学教学和多样性的教育活动，允许不同背景的学生参与利用与地球气候研究相关的大型复杂数据集的活动，包括来自低带宽互联网连接的地区（因为Argovis提供有针对性的搜索）。这些教育活动也有助于推动外联工作和新的研究项目（从而促进科学进步）。Argovis通过提供任何地理定位数据的结构和分布模板，对希望组织和共享气候科学和物理海洋学相关数据以外的数据的社区非常有用。高级网络基础设施办公室的这一奖项由研究，创新，协同和教育司（RISE），海洋科学司（OCE），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。

Argovis is a website and database (argovis.colorado.edu) which allows, for the first time, easy access to user-selected regional and temporal subsets of ocean and weather data relevant for the study of Earth’s climate and ocean biogeochemistry, enhancing co-location capabilities across these data and accelerating climate science workflows, outreach, and education. Data in Argovis can be visualized on the browser or can be imported directly in the programming environment of choice for scientific analysis. With its emphasis on facilitating data access and co-location capabilities across datasets, Argovis is well positioned to facilitate multidisciplinary research, support community efforts that benefit society, and play a key role towards increasing use of ocean knowledge and understanding by increasing ocean literacy across diverse stakeholders, which is one of the desired outcomes of the 2021-2030 United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.This project implements a sustainability strategy for Argovis that ensures the long-term stability of the tools and resources Argovis provides users with, leveraging long-term computational and maintenance resources at different institutions. Also, working with educators, Argovis creates and disseminates educational activities that utilize data in support of teaching and diversity in science, allowing students with different backgrounds to participate in activities that leverage large and complex dataset relevant for the study of Earth’s climate, including from regions with low bandwidth internet connections (as Argovis provides targeted searches). These educational activities are also useful to spin up outreach efforts and new research projects (hence promote the progress of science). Argovis can be useful to communities looking to organize and share data beyond those relevant for climate science and physical oceanography, by providing a template for the structure and distribution of any geolocated data.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Division of Research, Innovation, Synergies, and Education (RISE), Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE), and Office of Polar Programs (OPP) within the Directorate for Geosciences.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.
