An Overview of CUAHSI Data Services and Tools for Water Science Research

Data archival and dissemination is a challenging task for scientists and engineers, and if not done properly, hinders discovery of data applicable to an ongoing project. The next generation of scientists must be well versed in numerous methods of discovering, collecting, and processing water-related data, which is further complicated by the variety in data repositories, le formats, and encoding standards. CUAHSI (the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Inc.; https://www.cuahsi.org/) offers free data services and tools to address these issues. This workshop presents recent software development efforts to support (1) advanced data searching via the HIS Catalog API and (2) cloud-based hydrologic data analysis. The structure of this workshop will be a mixture of short presentations and interactive tutorials aimed to provide an introduction to research-oriented data discovery and analysis. Participants are encouraged to work through examples to better understand how they can leverage CUAHSI resources to supplement their research activities. We welcome participants that wish to learn how our tools and services can be leveraged in a research capacity.

数据存档与传播对科学家和工程师而言是一项颇具挑战性的任务，若处理不当，将阻碍适用于现行项目的相关数据发现。新一代科学家必须精通多种发现、收集和处理与水资源相关数据的方法，这一过程因数据存储库、文件格式及编码标准的多样性而更加复杂。CUAHSI（推进水文科学发展的大学联盟公司；https://www.cuahsi.org/）提供免费的数据服务与工具以解决这些问题。本次研讨会旨在介绍近期软件开发工作，以支持（1）通过HIS目录API进行高级数据搜索及（2）基于云的水文数据分析。研讨会结构将融合简短演示和互动教程，旨在为研究导向的数据发现与分析提供入门指导。鼓励参与者通过实例操作，以更好地理解如何利用CUAHSI资源来补充其研究活动。我们欢迎希望学习如何将我们的工具和服务应用于研究领域的参与者。
