While advances in sensing, hardware and wireless communications are permitting for previously unmeasured phenomena to be observed across unprecedented scales, it is the ability to act on these data that promises to transform modern geoscientific experimentation. The importance of real-time scientific data (data that are used as soon as they are collected) is ever increasing, particularly in mission critical scenarios, where informed decisions must be made rapidly. Many of the phenomenon occurring within the geosciences can benefit from better coverage of real-time data. Geosciences phenomenon range from hurricanes and severe weather, to earthquakes, volcano eruptions and floods and real-time data are essential to understand these phenomena and predict their impacts. The National Science Foundation funds many small teams of researchers that reside at Universities whose measurements can be of benefit to a better understanding of these phenomenon in order to ultimately improve forecasts and predictions. This is where Cloud-Hosted Real-time Data Services for the Geosciences, or CHORDS, fits in.CHORDS makes it simple for small research teams to make their real-time data available to the research community in standard formats. By following a few simple steps, a CHORDS ?portal? can be created for a research team and their data can be streamed into it very easily. CHORDS can also be used to access data from large NSF research platforms like radars, aircraft, ships and operational networks of sophisticated instrumentation. Once these data are ingested by a CHORDS portal, they are exposed in standard formats and are available to complex scientific tools such as prediction models and other analysis or decision-support systems. Since the CHORDS concept will be exposed to small research teams at Universities, this will allow college students to learn about the importance of real-time data and how to incorporate these data into their analysis. By having more and higher quality measurements available thorough CHORDS, models and other tools can make more accurate forecasts and provide better-informed decisions to mitigate the impacts and improve the understanding of these phenomenon.

虽然传感、硬件和无线通信的进步使得以前无法测量的现象能够在前所未有的规模上被观察到，但对这些数据采取行动的能力有望改变现代地球科学实验。实时科学数据（收集后立即使用的数据）的重要性不断增加，特别是在必须快速做出明智决策的关键任务场景中。地球科学领域发生的许多现象都可以受益于实时数据的更好覆盖。地球科学现象的范围从飓风和恶劣天气到地震、火山爆发和洪水，实时数据对于了解这些现象并预测其影响至关重要。美国国家科学基金会资助许多驻留在大学的小型研究人员团队，他们的测量有助于更好地理解这些现象，从而最终改进预测和预测。这就是地球科学云托管实时数据服务（CHORDS）的用武之地。CHORDS 使小型研究团队可以轻松地以标准格式向研究社区提供实时数据。通过遵循几个简单的步骤，CHORDS？门户？可以为研究团队创建，并且他们的数据可以很容易地流入其中。 CHORDS 还可用于访问大型 NSF 研究平台（如雷达、飞机、船舶和复杂仪器操作网络）的数据。一旦这些数据被 CHORDS 门户获取，它们就会以标准格式公开，并可供复杂的科学工具使用，例如预测模型和其他分析或决策支持系统。由于和弦概念将接触到大学的小型研究团队，这将使大学生了解实时数据的重要性以及如何将这些数据纳入他们的分析中。通过提供更多、更高质量的全面测量结果，模型和其他工具可以做出更准确的预测，并提供更明智的决策，以减轻影响并增进对这些现象的理解。
