This report was written to encourage good data management among COMT collaborators. The report describes the life cycle of observation and model data collected and processed during the COMT program that ran from September 1, 2013 to August 31, 2018. This report is accessable from the U.S. IOOS Coastal and Ocean Modeling Testbed website (see https:/...

[1] Strong and strategic collaborations among experts from academia, federal operational centers, and industry have been forged to create a U.S. IOOS Coastal and Ocean Modeling Testbed (COMT). The COMT mission is to accelerate the transition of scientific and technical advances from the coastal and ocean modeling research community to improved oper...

1] We apply the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model to simulate the Hurricane Ike storm surge using two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) formulations. The high resolution, unstructured grid extends over the Gulf of Mexico with open boundaries in the Straits of Florida and the Yucatan Channel. With the same wind and pressure forcing, the...

The EarthCube Governance Steering Committee was tasked with creating an initial governance framework for EarthCube, based upon the Governance Roadmap, which we presented to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the EarthCube community prior to the June 2012 NSF EarthCube charrette (community event). The purpose of the Governance Roadmap was to...

EarthCube is a process established to transform the conduct of research through the development of community-guided cyberinfrastructure. Specifically, EarthCube is attempting to integrate data and information knowledge management across the Geosciences; providing capabilities that permit scientists to conduct research in a more productive way, inte...

The primary purpose of this paper is to elucidate the importance of campus-to-campus Cyberinfrastructure (CI) initiatives in the actualization of a global CI that can effectively support research and education. The goal is for all stakeholders – funding agencies, industry partners, academic research advocacy organizations, researchers, faculty, and...

In collaboration with Norfolk State University (NSU) and University of Kentucky (UKY), SURA is leading a short-term pilot project to establish a distributed Microsoft high performance computing (HPC) test bed in support of biomedical and geosciences research. The goals of this pilot are to (1) establish a test bed using Microsoft HPC2008, (2) inves...
