Data & Information Management Services for the U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean Program

摘要PI：Peter H. Wiebe提案编号：0739707标题：美国GLOBEC南大洋计划的数据信息管理服务极地计划办公室，南极科学部，生物生态系统和海洋大气科学计划已经取得了这个奖项，以继续支持GLOBEC和相关数据的持续综合数据管理工作。 GLOBEC（全球海洋生态系统动力学）是由SCOR和联合国教科文组织IOC于1991年发起的，是国际地圈生物圈计划（IGBP）的核心项目。全球海洋生态系统的目的是增进对全球海洋生态系统的结构和功能、其主要子系统及其对物理强迫的反应的了解，以便能够发展预测海洋生态系统对全球变化的反应的能力。 美国南大洋GLOBEC需要研究影响海洋动物关键种群的物理和生物过程。实地阶段于2001-2003年进行，从一套不同的多学科观察中产生了大量新数据。综合阶段正在进行中，预计还将进行泛区域全球生物多样性公约综合。 这些努力要求在一个更大的解释框架内提供数据和观察结果。根据这项合同，数据管理服务的核心将继续利用美国全球海洋流量/全球海洋环境变化联合方案开发的方法和经验，向分布式客户提供基于网络的分布式数据流服务。在这个系统下，更广泛的社区中的任何人都可以访问Web浏览器，从而访问数据。 数据不受密码保护，但要求用户遵守网站上给出的数据确认政策。 数据管理办公室还协助制定提交数据的适当程序，并提供、维护和改进用于绘图和地质统计评价等任务的数据工具。 地理空间参照可视化将纳入数据服务。 数据质量控制是数据提供者的责任，尽管数据管理办公室确实确保元数据的质量和完整性。 该办事处还编制和提交元数据目录交换格式文件，以便张贴到南极总目录。 更广泛的影响：该项目将通过确保广大社区能够获得完整的数据，促进南大洋全球生物多样性数据综合，包括多学科科学的综合。 除了继续支持南大洋GLOBEC综合，它将有助于确保获得比较数据，以帮助美国GLOBEC计划的泛区域综合阶段，以及不断努力整合整个南大洋的科学认识。该项目将与生物和化学海洋学数据管理办公室合作和协调，以确保全球海洋学和生态学数据库社区以外的人也能获得这些数据。 经验表明，易于访问数据的网络存在已经引起了高中和大学生对GLOBEC计划的兴趣，数据管理办公室将继续通过回应进一步计划信息的请求来培养这种兴趣。

AbstractPI: Peter H. WiebeProposal Number: 0739707Title: Data & Information Management Services for the U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean ProgramThe Office of Polar Programs, Antarctic Science Division, Organisms & Ecosystems and Ocean & Atmospheric Science Programs have made this award for continuation of data management efforts in support of ongoing syntheses of GLOBEC and related data. GLOBEC (GLOBal Ocean ECosystem Dynamics) was initiated by SCOR and the IOC of UNESCO in 1991 and is an International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) core project. The aim of GLOBEC is to advance understanding of the structure and functioning of the global ocean ecosystem, its major subsystems, and its response to physical forcing so that a capability can be developed to forecast the responses of the marine ecosystem to global change. US Southern Ocean GLOBEC entailed the study of physical and biological processes that influence key populations of marine animals. The field phase took place in 2001-2003 and produced a large amount of new data from a diverse set of multi-disciplinary observations. A synthesis phase is in process and a Pan-Regional GLOBEC Synthesis is also anticipated. These efforts require that data and observations are available within a larger interpretive framework. Under this award, the core of the data management service will continue to provide for web-based serving of distributed data streams to distributed clients using a system that leverages the approach and experience developed under the US Joint Global Ocean Fluxes/GLOBEC Programs. Under this system, anyone in the broader community with access to a web browser has access to the data. The data are not password protected but users are asked to abide by the Data Acknowledgement Policy given on the web site. The data management office also assists with proper procedures for submission of data and makes available, maintains and improves data tools for tasks like plotting and geostatistical evaluation. Geospatially referenced visualization will be integrated into the data service. Data quality control is the responsibility of the data providers although the data management office does ensure the quality and completeness of the metadata. The office also prepares and submits metadata Directory Interchange Format (DIF) files for posting to the Antarctic Master Directory. Broader impacts: This project will facilitate Southern Ocean GLOBEC data synthesis involving integration of multidisciplinary science through assuring complete data access to the broad community. In addition to continued support of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC synthesis, it will help to assure access to comparative data in aid of a Pan-Regional Synthesis phase of the U.S. GLOBEC Program as well as evolving efforts to integrate scientific understanding across the full Southern Ocean. This project will cooperate and coordinate with the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office to ensure that the data are accessible beyond the GLOBEC community. Experience has shown that the web presence with easy data access has engendered interest in the GLOBEC program by high school and college students that the data management office will continue to foster by responding to requests for further program information.
