Abstract:
An Integrated Science Data Analytics Platform is an environment that enables the confluence of resources for scientific investigation. It harmonizes data, tools and computational resources which subsequently enable the research community to focus on the investigation rather than spending time on security, data preparation, management, etc. OceanWorks is a NASA technology integration project to establish an Integrated Ocean Science Data Analytics Platform at NASA’s Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) for big ocean science. OceanWorks is developed collaboratively between the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) at Florida State University, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and George Mason University (GMU). It focuses on technology integration, advancement and maturity by bringing together several NASA open-source, big data projects. It includes cloud-based technologies for on-the-fly time-series analysis, oceanographic anomaly detection, in situ to satellite data match up, quality-screened subsetting, search relevancy and discovery, and web-based visualization.

In 2017, the OceanWorks project team has donated all of the project’s source code to the Apache Software Foundation and established the official Science Data Analytics Platform (SDAP) project (http://sdap.incubator.apache.org) for community-driven and development of data access and analysis platform for the cloud environment. The OceanWorks project team is now develop in the open. This presentation will provide the current progress on the OceanWorks activity with demonstrations on some of the cloud-based analysis this platform enables for ocean sciences and discuss how this community can leverage and support SDAP.
