Collaborative Research: Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R): Transforming the Academic Fleet Into an Integrated Global Observing System

该提案提出了一种改进数据保存和可访问性的新方法。滚动甲板到仓库（R2R）项目？全面的车队数据管理计划。R2R将是一个中央岸线数据网关，通过它，每次探险的航行数据例行编目，并从联索特派团船舶操作员传送到长期的国家档案馆。R2R将提供必要的数据文件服务，包括生产标准化的巡航级元数据、数据清单、导航产品和每次探险的操作报告。将开发和部署用于横向传感器部署和采样站的常规测井工具，以方便创建采样？事件日志吗?每次巡航。与船上自动气象和海洋系统（SAMOS; http://samos.coaps.fsu.edu/）数据组装中心（DAC）合作，将建立R2R协议，用于气象和热盐数据的近实时传输和自动质量评估（QA），在巡航进行时向操作员提供直接反馈。R2R将协调正在进行的数据类型的巡航后QA的常规开发，最初的开发重点是地球物理传感器（多波束声纳，海底剖面仪，磁力，重力），随后扩展到其他传感器（CTD， ADCP等）。使用R2R工具，正在进行的数据将被分类并充分记录，以提交给NOAA运营的长期国家数据中心（ndc），以及专门负责减少和分析特定数据类型的dac。我们的做法将是利用和加强联合国生命线行动办事处、船舶运营商和国家自主贡献中心现有的集中信息资源，以促进编制和提供来自？滚动甲板?对库。?我们的愿景是，直接与船舶操作员和技术人员合作，将确保这些高价值数据的获取、质量、保存和传播更加完整和一致，从而将学术船队转变为一个综合的全球观测系统。更广泛的影响：使用科考船变得越来越昂贵和困难。R2R项目将有助于利用这些成本，使整个海洋科学界和任何其他潜在的数据用户受益，这些数据将被定期收集、检查和妥善存档。正如提议者所说，这将使联索观察团船队成为一个具有沿海、区域和全球范围的观测系统，为当前和未来的研究人员提供有用的数据集。从长远来看，尽管这个项目看起来很昂贵，但它将使我们在研究船、仪器和运营成本方面的投资更具成本效益。

This proposal presents a new approach to improve data preservation and accessibility ? the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) Project ? a comprehensive plan for fleet-wide data management. R2R will be a central shore-side data gateway through which underway data from each expedition are routinely cataloged and transmitted from UNOLS ship operators to long-term national archives. R2R will provide essential data documentation services including the production of standardized cruise-level metadata, data inventories, navigation products, and an operations report for every expedition. Tools for routine logging of over-the-side sensor deployments and sampling stations will be developed and deployed to facilitate creation of a sampling ?event log? for each cruise. In partnership with the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS; http://samos.coaps.fsu.edu/) Data Assembly Center (DAC), R2R protocols will be established for near real-time transfer and automated Quality Assessment (QA) of meteorological and thermosalinograph data providing direct feedback to operators while the cruise is underway. R2R will coordinate the development of routines for post-cruise QA of underway data types, with initial development focused on geophysical sensors (multibeam sonar, subbottom profilers, magnetics, gravity), and subsequent expansion to other sensors (CTD, ADCP, etc). Using R2R tools, underway data will be categorized and sufficiently documented for submission to long-term National Data Centers (NDCs) operated by NOAA, and to DACs specialized in the reduction and analysis of specific data types. Our approach will be to leverage and augment the existing centralized information resources of the UNOLS office, ship operators, and NDCs to facilitate the documentation and delivery of oceanographic data from ?rolling deck? to ?repository.? Our vision is that working directly with ship operators and technicians will ensure more complete and consistent acquisition, quality, preservation, and dissemination of these high-value data, thereby transforming the academic fleet into an integrated global observing system. Broader Impacts: Access to research vessels is becoming increasingly more expensive and difficult. The R2R project will help to leverage these costs for the benefit of the entire ocean science community and any other potential users of the data that will be routinely collected, checked and properly archived. As the proposers state, this will essentially make the UNOLS fleet an observatory system that will have coastal, regional and global scope, providing data sets useful to current and future researchers. Going forward with this project, even though it may seem expensive will in the long run make our investment in the research vessels, instrumentation and operational costs much more cost effective.
