Development and Support for the USGODAE Server
Abstract
The USGODAE Monterey Data Server is envisioned as the hub for US (and international) GODAE projects. To meet this goal, the data server must fulfill three major roles. First, the server must act as a data server, providing reliable access to observational data and surface forcing fields to drive GODAE ocean models. Second, the server must be part of a framework to access and compare ocean model, or demonstration product output; so, researchers can validate and analyze their data. Finally, the server must have well-organized, easily accessible documentation to simplify data usage, and provide details for the many GODAE and US GODAE projects. The USGODAE server should eventually become the first stop for users seeking US GODAE data, documentation, or model output. Through USGODAE, users will be able to locate data and documentation hosted both on and off the server. The Asia Pacific Data Research Center (ADPRC), which is hosted by the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) at the University of Hawaii, will function as a companion data center in support of GODAE climate forecast. Over time the two servers will be configured to appear as a single virtual data service for GODAE users.
