- Abstract: REINAS is a research and development program with the goal of
-
- designing, developing and testing an operational prototype system for
- data acquisition, data management and visualization. This system is to
- support the real-time utilization of advanced instrumentation in
- environmental science where continuous time measurements and improved
- spatial resolution allow monitoring and understanding of environmental
- phenomena in much greater detail than has previously been possible.
- The system will also support the retrospective use of integrated
- environmental data sets. The scientific problem chosen to provide a
- focus for study is in the area of air-sea-land interaction, in particular,
- seabreeze development and the oceanic response to it in Monterey Bay.
- The project is a multi-year effort of the Baskin Center for Computer
- Engineering and Information Sciences of the University of California,
- Santa Cruz, in cooperation with the environmental and marine scientists
- from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Monterey Bay Aquarium Research
- Institute (MBARI), and the Center for Ocean Anallysis and Prediction
- (NOAA/COAP).
- This report is the Concept Statement for the REINAS project in
- which the initial system requirements and project plan for the system
- is described along with a preliminary architecture and its subsystems
- for data collection, data management, processing and visualization
- which are required for real-time operational applications in the marine
- environment.
- The objective of this document is to provide project participants
- and reviewers a baseline description of the problem that REINAS is
- targeting, the technology to be applied, and a plan for meeting project
- goals. The concepts discussed are meant to provide clear and concise
- direction for project activities and clear evaluation criteria for
- products produced by the REINAS team.
- Collected in the appendices of this report are details and
- documentation concerning the data sources, related projects, etc.
- that seem related to REINAS.
