OASIS: An EOSDIS Science Computing Facility

In the course of global change studies, a scientist would often like to eeciently store, retrieve, analyze and interpret selected data sets from a large collection of scientiic information scattered across heterogeneous computational environments, Earth Observing System data repositories, and to share the gleaned information with other scientiic communities. To facilitate the above activities, we have developed OASIS, a exible, extensible, and seamless environment for scientiic data analysis, knowledge discovery, visualization, and collaboration.
