Fast Disk Storage to Enable Big Data Science in Weather, Oceans and Climate

该项目旨在扩大澳大利亚开展高影响力创新气候、天气和海洋学科学的能力。这种科学依赖于大量的数据，再加上计算上高度密集和复杂的分析。因此，该项目将购买快速磁盘存储并将其安装在国家计算基础设施中。预计该项目将通过更好地了解极端天气等气候系统，使国家受益；预测能力的提高；通过科学在预测、资源管理等方面的应用。

This project aims to expand Australia's capacity to do high-impact innovative climate, weather and oceanographic science. Science of this kind relies on massive data coupled to computationally highly intensive and complex analysis. Therefore, the project will purchase fast disk storage and install it at the National Computing Infrastructure. It is anticipated that the project will benefit the nation through better understanding of the climate system, including extremes; improvements in our capacity to make predictions; and through applications of the science to forecasting, the management of resources among other many other things.
