e-Science Data Intensive Science Will Drive Distributed Cyberinfrastructure

NASA Earth System Science IT Challenges EOSDIS Currently: –Ingests Nearly 3 Terabytes of Data Each Day –In 2003 it Delivered Over 25 Million Data Products –In Response to Over 2.3 Million User Requests –Making It the Largest “e-Science” System in the World Earth System Modeling is a Driving Requirement for High-End Computing, and will Continue to be so as Models: –Increase in Resolution and –Are Further Coupled –(e.g., Atmosphere-Ocean-Land Processes) Other Agencies are Learning from EOSDIS and are Moving Beyond. As NASA Lays Out the Evolution of its Information Infrastructure to Meet its Earth Science Challenges Over The Next Decade, it will Again Need to Move to The Leading-Edge.

Components of a Future Global System for Earth Observation

NSF is Funding Research on Wireless Cyberinfrastructure for Ocean Observatories
