OceanGrid: Constructing Data Grid of Ocean Environmental Information

The specialities in ocean environmental information data prevent themselves from being exploited efficiently in ocean science research. The combination of the data grid technology with ocean science provides the promising future for sharing and exchanging of ocean environmental information data. This paper illustrates the construction of OceanGrid, which is the data grid of ocean environmental information storage and exchanging. The architecture and realization of OceanGrid have been illustrated in details and the scalable data format converting grid service has been presented with OceanGrid. One typical application of water mass division has been realized, which proves the functionality of OceanGrid.
