项目摘要

[Note, NEODAAS were advised to merely cut and paste from the case for support into this section] The vision for NEODAAS is to provide NERC and UKRI academic communities with flexible, responsive and innovative national capability in Earth Observation data, services and advice, which addresses key strategic research and innovation priorities and contributes to understanding of important environmental issues affecting the UK. Earth Observation (EO) is crucial for observing Earth system processes in near-real time (NRT) at synoptic scales and over long periods as the data records extend in time. The European Copernicus programme, in particular, is enabling significant advances in the field through construction of an operational system of satellite-based sensors, with new and improved capabilities. Copernicus benefits the science of the expert EO community, and has even greater potential for non EO experts who can use EO derived data and information for the first time. There is, thus, increasing demand for EO data and services, but clearly it is inefficient for all grant-holders to be generating their own EO data, while many non-EO experts do not have the skill base to do their own processing. Hence, the need for NEODAAS at Plymouth was confirmed by the NERC Facilities Evaluation Panel. Surveys by NERC Head Office and NCEO show strong demand for a value for money EO service which has demonstrably resulted in high quality science: between 2013/14 and 2017/18, NEODAAS supported 321 ISI-refereed publications (with >10k citations to all NEODAAS papers).NEODAAS services include: EO products and information including production of analysis-ready data products to meet particular UK needs (such as UK projections or bespoke algorithms); rapid-response with very fast delivery times; provision of data in formats that can be easily used by non-experts; operationalisation of algorithms produced by NERC-funded research, for wider impact in the community; and provision of advice and training in the sources and best practice in EO. NEODAAS offers a centralised service from one location, thus avoiding duplication, and providing critical mass. NEODAAS is currently a dual node facility based at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and the University of Dundee. The recommissioned service will continue work performed at PML, and will expand this by taking on certain of the work undertaken by Dundee - namely the collection of level 1 data for NRT data processing. This will be done via web/ftp downloads and PML-based EUMETCast data reception. NEODAAS will provide flexibility to meet the wide range of UK community needs, and considerable leverage in terms of exploiting PML R&D outcomes, local expertise and existing computing and processing systems. NEODAAS will support Excellent Science funded through NERC grants, NERC Centre/Survey NC, Fellowships, Doctoral Training Partnerships or Centres for Doctoral Training, direct-access proposals as well as UKRI funding opportunities, such as the GCRF and Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF). The end-user community and the corresponding services may be split into two groups or strands:Strand 1) Services to non-EO experts who wish to make use of EO datasets and information but do not wish, or are not able to spend extensive time learning how to do data processing. These services support the wider user community, numbering potentially many 1000's, many of whom may not even be aware of it (e.g. non-EO scientists on research cruises guided by NEODAAS).Strand 2) Services to the EO Community who have EO expertise, but want specialist aid such as algorithm implementation, e.g. arising from NCEO research, in a NRT framework or would like to include their algorithms in the NEODAAS processing chain. The potential number of users is smaller, typically 100's, but the services may be more complex and bespoke in nature than those in Strand 1.

[注意，建议 NEODAAS 仅从支持案例中剪切并粘贴到本节] NEODAAS 的愿景是为 NERC 和 UKRI 学术界提供灵活、响应迅速和创新的国家地球观测数据、服务和建议能力，这解决关键的战略研究和创新优先事项，并有助于理解影响英国的重要环境问题。地球观测 (EO) 对于在天气尺度上近实时 (NRT) 观测地球系统过程至关重要，并且随着数据记录的时间延长而长期观测。特别是欧洲哥白尼计划，通过构建具有新功能和改进功能的卫星传感器操作系统，正在该领域取得重大进展。哥白尼有利于 EO 专家界的科学，并且对于首次使用 EO 衍生数据和信息的非 EO 专家来说具有更大的潜力。因此，对EO数据和服务的需求不断增加，但显然，所有资助者生成自己的EO数据效率低下，而许多非EO专家没有足够的技能基础来进行自己的处理。因此，NERC 设施评估小组确认了普利茅斯对 NEODAAS 的需求。 NERC 总部和 NCEO 的调查显示，人们对物有所值的 EO 服务有着强烈的需求，这显然带来了高质量的科学成果：2013/14 至 2017/18 年间，NEODAAS 支持了 321 篇 ISI 评审的出版物（所有 NEODAAS 的引用量超过 10,000 篇） NEODAAS 服务包括： EO 产品和信息，包括生产可用于分析的数据产品，以满足英国的特定需求（例如英国预测或定制算法）；快速响应，交货时间极快；以非专家可以轻松使用的格式提供数据； NERC 资助的研究产生的算法的可操作性，以在社区中产生更广泛的影响；并提供有关 EO 来源和最佳实践的建议和培训。 NEODAAS 从一个地点提供集中服务，从而避免重复并提供临界质量。 NEODAAS 目前是一个位于普利茅斯海洋实验室 (PML) 和邓迪大学的双节点设施。重新投入使用的服务将继续在 PML 执行的工作，并将通过承担 Dundee 承担的某些工作来扩展这一工作，即收集用于 NRT 数据处理的 1 级数据。这将通过网络/FTP 下载和基于 PML 的 EUMETCast 数据接收来完成。 NEODAAS 将提供灵活性来满足英国社区的广泛需求，并在利用 PML 研发成果、当地专业知识以及现有计算和处理系统方面提供相当大的影响力。 NEODAAS 将通过 NERC 拨款、NERC 中心/NC 调查、奖学金、博士培训合作伙伴或博士培训中心、直接访问提案以及 UKRI 资助机会（例如 GCRF 和工业战略挑战基金 (ISCF)）来支持卓越科学。最终用户社区和相应的服务可以分为两个组或部分：第 1 部分）为希望利用 EO 数据集和信息但不希望或无法花费大量时间的非 EO 专家提供服务学习如何进行数据处理。这些服务支持更广泛的用户社区，数量可能达到数千人，其中许多人甚至可能没有意识到这一点（例如，在 NEODAAS 指导下进行研究巡航的非 EO 科学家）。第 2 条）为拥有 EO 专业知识的 EO 社区提供服务，但需要专家帮助，例如算法实现，例如来自 NCEO 研究，在 NRT 框架中或希望将其算法纳入 NEODAAS 处理链中。潜在用户数量较少，通常为 100 个，但服务可能比链 1 中的服务更复杂且更定制。
