Simons Collaborative Marine Atlas Project (Simons CMAP) is an open-source data portal that interconnects large, complex, and diverse public data sets currently dispersed in different formats across different Oceanography discipline-specific databases. Simons CMAP is designed to streamline the retrieval of custom subsets of data, the generation of data visualizations, and the analyses of diverse data, thus expanding the power of these potentially underutilized data sets for cross-disciplinary studies of ocean processes. We describe a unified architecture that allows numerical model outputs, satellite products, and field observations to be readily shared, mined, and integrated regardless of data set size or resolution. A current focus of Simons CMAP is integration of physical, chemical, and biological data sets essential for characterizing the biogeography of key marine microbes across ocean basins and seasonal cycles. Using a practical example, we demonstrate how our unifying data harmonization plans significantly simplifies and allows for systematic data integration across all Simons CMAP data sets.

Simons Collaborative Marine Atlas Project (Simons CMAP)：一个用于共享、可视化和分析海洋数据的开源门户

Simons Collaborative Marine Atlas Project (Simons CMAP) 是一个开源数据门户，它将大型、复杂和多样化的公共数据集互连起来，这些公共数据集目前以不同的格式分布在不同的海洋学学科特定数据库中。Simons CMAP 旨在简化自定义数据子集的检索、数据可视化的生成和不同数据的分析，从而扩展这些潜在未充分利用的数据集的力量，用于海洋过程的跨学科研究。我们描述了一个统一的架构，无论数据集大小或分辨率如何，都可以轻松共享、挖掘和集成数值模型输出、卫星产品和现场观测。Simons CMAP 当前的一个重点是整合物理、化学、和生物数据集对于表征跨海洋盆地和季节性周期的关键海洋微生物的生物地理学至关重要。通过一个实际示例，我们展示了我们的统一数据协调计划如何显着简化并允许跨所有 Simons CMAP 数据集进行系统数据集成。
