Scientists to prototype cyberinfrastructure for research and education access to ocean observatories

Delaney, with co-PIs Ronald Johnson and Edward Lazowska of UW and Mark Abbott, Dean of Oregon State University's College of Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences. Alan Chave of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has proposed a web services framework for LOOKING (in close collaboration with Bill St. Arnaud of the Canadian Network for the Advancement of Research, Industry and Education (CANARIE); WHOI will flesh this out with middleware and test the result using existing ocean observatories and terrestrial IT infrastructure. The other half of the award will be administered by UCSD, with most of the work to be carried out by Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology [Cal-(IT)2]. "Our prototype infrastructure will be a large distributed data grid, driven by a variety of instruments, and we want it to be capable of interactively analyzing and collaboratively visualizing multiple data objects," said John Orcutt, Deputy Director of Scripps and LOOKING's principal investigator at UCSD. "One of our biggest challenges is the design of middleware to facilitate and enable instrument and infrastructure control, data generation and distributed storage, data assimilation and ocean simulation, analysis, visualization, and collaboration."

The LOOKING project is emblematic of a growing focus on global, coastal and regional-scale observatories since the NSF initiated its Ocean Observatories Initiative in 2001. That federally-funded initiative is scheduled to be funded in fiscal 2006 with $245 million over five years. Those and existing ocean observatories will be managed and operated by another NSF creation: the Ocean Research Interactive Observatory Networks (ORION) program. ORION coordinates the science, technology, education and outreach of the emerging network of science-driven ocean observatories.

Working with other NSF-funded organizations, LOOKING will develop cyberinfrastruct
