Call us at QUICK START Zoom in and out As you work on your poster zoom in and out to the level that is more comfortable to you. Go to VIEW > ZOOM. Title, Authors, and Affiliations Start designing your poster by adding the title, the names of the authors, and the affiliated institutions. You can type or paste text into the provided boxes. The template will automatically adjust the size of your text to fit the title box. You can manually override this feature and change the size of your text. TIP: The font size of your title should be bigger than your name(s) and institution name(s). Adding Logos / Seals Most often, logos are added on each side of the title. You can insert a logo by dragging and dropping it from your desktop, copy and paste or by going to INSERT > PICTURES. Logos taken from web sites are likely to be low quality when printed. Zoom it at 100% to see what the logo will look like on the final poster and make any necessary adjustments. TIP: See if your school’s logo is available on our free poster templates page. Photographs / Graphics You can add images by dragging and dropping from your desktop, copy and paste, or by going to INSERT > PICTURES. Resize images proportionally by holding down the SHIFT key and dragging one of the corner handles. For a professional-looking poster, do not distort your images by enlarging them disproportionally. Image Quality Check Zoom in and look at your images at 100% magnification. If they look good they will print well. ORIGINAL DISTORTED Corner handles Good printing quality Bad printing quality QUICK START (cont.)

The service system is designed to extensively adopt open geospatial standards/specifications, including the ISO geospatial data and metadata standards and standard-based geospatial web service, workflows, and sensor web technologies are the foundation. It bridges the sensors and earth science models through standard interfaces, such as Web Processing Service, Sensor Planning Service, and Catalogue Service for the Web. The standard interfaces allow the automatic handshaking between components with workflow designers and underlying workflow execution language. The system is to be demonstrated with actual earth science models: The Cloud-Resolving Model (CRM), the Community Multi- scale Air Quality Model (CMAQ), and the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM). The final platform are to be deployed and maintained for operational ingestion, discovery, access, and present geospatial models, data, and information. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSIONS The standard-based architecture design demonstrates advantages: (1) Interoperability: Standard geospatial services as the foundation of components support interoperability. Plug- in-and-play are made possible as long as the new components follows the supported open specifications or standards. (2) Reusability: Common interfaces assure reusability. Both existing Web services and newly developed Web services can be re-used as long as they are under the same geospatial Web service common specification. (3) Scalability: Web-based service-oriented architecture enables scalability. A Web service can be re-deployed onto many servers. Many servers can be used simultaneously if partition of tasks is properly done. For example, large processing tasks can be partitioned into small tasks in terms of spatial regions and time periods. They can be processed by multiple services and then combined by an aggregator service. This would enable the processing of large datasets in a timely fashion if we can find enough computing resources. The further development will complete the implementation and integration of the framework. Three demonstrations, Cloud- Resolving Models (CRM), Community Multi-scale Air Quality Model (CMAQ), and Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM), will be developed as examplar cases to show how models can leverage the functionalities of the framework and facilitate the management of geospatial Web servie execution and processes.

Earth observation (EO) through sensors is the most important way to collect Earth science data. It is very common that scientists who conduct data-intensive Earth science research need to integrate and analyze multi-source EO datasets, which are typically very diverse in the collecting sensors, data formats, projections, spatial/temporal resolutions and coverage, access methods, quality, documentation, and user support. Studies showed that scientists who used satellite remote sensing data for data-intensive geospatial science applications had to spend over 60% of their time just for data acquisition, preprocessing, and post-processing. The major barriers are 1) difficulty to find and obtain the needed data from geographically distributed data sources, 2) data not in ready-to-analyze form, e.g., incompatible format, projection, and resolution among data from different sources and between the data from external sources and the in-house analysis system used by scientists, 3) the unavailability of the needed data products, e.g., further process the low-level data into higher level customized products are often needed before an application or a decision support system can use them, and 4) lack of or inadequate computing resources (both software and hardware) to handle the large volumes of data. The overall goal is to remove or significantly lower these major barriers and to demonstrate the dramatic reduction (by at least one order of magnitude) of the time and efforts spent by scientists and engineers on preparing data for data- model inter-comparison, model V&V, and model utilization through developing and operating a sensor Web enabled EarthCube building block, the CyberConnector, to bridge EO and ESMs. CyberConnector aims to achieve objectives: (1) Efficiently and robustly preparing and feeding EO data to ESMs, (2) Efficiency, scalability, and generality, (3) Enabling the knowledge accumulation and sharing, (4) Automatically presenting ESM outputs/results through the Web, (5) Facilitating Business Event Processing (BEP), and (6) Engaging in broad community participations in developing and using CyberConnector and sustaining its operation. 1.
