HPNC: Internet2 Connection for the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's School for Marine Science and Technology

该提案计划将SMAST（海洋科学与技术学院）直接连接到波士顿的北方十字路口GigaPoP，然后连接到Abilene网络，以支持以下研究和教育活动成为与海洋环境观测/建模和渔业海洋学和管理研究计划相关的分布式数据和信息的主要供应商和交换所。与哈佛大学的同事在开发数据同化模拟系统方面进行更有效的合作。更积极地参与与我们联合开发高级渔业管理信息系统（AFMIS）相关的大型观测和模型数据的实时交换。与同事在（1）沿海冬季混合层演变的大涡模拟模拟和（2）在远程超级计算机上对海洋物理-生物系统进行直接数值模拟。在GLOBEC/Georges Bank关于卫星导出的温度场与生物学关系的研究中进行更有效的合作。建立ACCESS GRID节点将为分布式（远程）研究和教育合作提供可靠的支持。为IGS/SMAST研究人员和学生提供高质量的加速访问正在建立的虚拟图书馆，以增强传统图书馆。开始采用先进的可视化技术来分析和综合结果

The proposal plans to connect SMAST (School for Marine Science and Technology) directly to the Northern Crossroads GigaPoP in Boston and then to the Abilene Network in support of the following research and education activitiesBecome a major supplier and clearinghouse for distributed data and information related to its programs in ocean environmental observation/modeling and fisheries oceanography and management research. CCollaborate more effectively with its Harvard University colleagues on the development of data assimilation modeling system.Become more actively engaged in the real-time exchange of large observational and model data that accompanies our joint development of an Advanced Fisheries Management Information System (AFMIS).Collaborate more effectively with colleagues in (1) large eddy simulation modeling of coastal winter-mixed layer evolution and (2) direct numerical simulation of ocean physical-biological systems on a remote supercomputer.Collaborate more effectively in its GLOBEC/Georges Bank studies on the relation of satellite-derived temperature fields and biology.The establishment of an ACCESS GRID node would establish reliable support for distributed (remote) research and education collaborations.Provide IGS/SMAST researchers and students with high-speed access to the virtual libraries that are being built to augment traditional libraries.Begin employing advanced visualization technology to analyze and synthesize results
