1. OOI-CI & IOOS-DMAC Intersection Project FY2010

2. OOI Overview

3. US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS ® ) IOOS ® Plan defines: IOOS ® Plan defines: Global ComponentGlobal Component Coastal ComponentCoastal Component  17 Federal Agencies  11 Regional Associations

4. Science Activity Model OOI Scientific Investigation (Mar 2011 end)

5. OOI Data Exchange

6. Cloud Computing Infrastructure as a Service –Compute Nodes –Storage –Present resources as infinite Advantages –No capitalization of compute infrastructure –No operations of compute infrastructure –Very useful in development phase and during peak load –Easy to use, proven, quick turn around Disadvantages –Higher costs during the operations phase –Reduced control of data, location, authority, security etc. Existing Clouds –Commercial clouds: “Pay per use” and “allocation” model –Examples: Amazon EC2/EBS, Microsoft Azure, Google AppEngine etc.

7. The Problem Each modeler has separate collection of scripts and procedures which are typically ad hoc, brittle and hard to maintain. –NCEP NAM: NOMADS/OPeNDAP =>NCO=>NetCDF –USGS Rivers: USGS/SOAP => XML –HFRADAR: Rutgers/OPeNDAP=>NetCDF –GTS CTD/XBT: AOML/Database query=>ASCII

12. Community Involvement Feedback on this plan Other data streams we should handle immediately? Plan to brief NFRA Modeling Committee regularly Wilkin (MARCOOS) has been identified as an ideal end-user modeler for participation (tech savvy, heavy data assimilation) We would like to add two others. Volunteers?
