The purpose of this approved proposal is to establish
a “Lambda Network” (in this case using optical wavelength
technology and 10Gbps Ethernet per wavelength) from Goddard's
Earth science facility in Greenbelt, MD to the Scripps Institute
of Oceanography (SIO) through the University of California,
San Diego (UCSD) facility over the National Lambda Rail (NLR),
a new national dark optical fiber infrastructure. Currently,
the Sciences and Exploration Directorate maintains a Joint
Center with SIO where research collaborations exist between
more than a half dozen scientists at each institution. This
Lambda-Net will allow SIO scientists to interactively perform
complex collaborative analysis with their Goddard colleagues
across the continent as if they were in the same building,
by making data residing on Goddard’s
high speed computer disks available to SIO with access speeds
as if the data were on their own desktop servers or PC’s. It
will enable scientists at both institutions to share and
use compute intensive community models, complex data base
mining and multi-dimensional streaming visualization over
this highly distributed, virtual working environment. It
will create a virtual lab within GSFC with a SIO wing.
