HALO data base, further development and setup of a data retrieval and long term archive system

该研究项目包括提供与前瞻性开发方法相关的it基础设施，以存档和检索在HALO飞机上观察到的数据。在这种情况下，基本建立的数据检索和存档系统（标记为HALO-DB）将在HALOand的预期运行时间（30年）内管理广泛的数据。预期的数据将涵盖大气、海洋和地球科学各个领域的大量参数。数据集将由几个称为元数据的标准化属性分配。HALO-DB中存储数据的特征描述（根据使用的元数据进行的规范）是量身定制的，并专注于与halo社区相关的数据。此外，基于模拟或其他非halo平台观测到的数据，元数据的综合频谱将包含保存数据的可能性。船舶、遥感系统)。因此，可以执行基于web的应用程序（数据分类、快速查看）来生成与其不同需求相关的有意义的结果。HALO-DB除了处理和存储数值数据的主要任务外，HALO-DB还可以处理图像等形式的数据，只要指出相应的元数据。利用HALO-DB，科学家们将能够比较（在不同平台上）模拟和观测到的数据，以扩大对地球子系统过程的了解。数据的长期存储和持续提供将在感兴趣的科学界中结合最大的科学利润、生产力和协同效应。

The research project encompasses the supply of an IT-infrastructure associated with the prospectivedevelopment of methods to archive and retrieve data observed on the HALO aircraft. In thiscontext the data retrieval and archive system (labeled as HALO-DB), which is basically established,will manage a wide range of data during the expected operating time (30 years) of HALOand moreover. Intended data will cover a large quantity of parameters in various fields of theatmospheric, oceanic and geo sciences. The data sets will be allocated by a couple of standardizedattributes, called metadata. The characterization (specifications in terms of the usedmetadata) of the stored data at HALO-DB is tailored and focused on the data, related to theHALO community. Furthermore, the comprehensive spectrum of metadata will encompass thepossibility to hold data, based on simulations or data observed by other non-HALO platforms(e.g. ships, remote sensing systems). So web-based applications (data classification, quicklooks)can be performed to generate meaningful results related to their varied demands. Inaddition to the substantial task of HALO-DB to process and store numerical data, HALO-DB willalso handle data in form of images etc., provided that the corresponding metadata are indicated.Using HALO-DB, the scientists will be able to compare modeled and observed (on differentplatforms) data, to enlarge the knowledge concerning processes in the Earth’s subsystems. Thelong-term storage and the consistent providing of data will combine the maximized scientificprofit, productivity and synergy effects across the interested scientific communities.
