Abstract :
The ocean, is fundamentally important to many areas of modern society and thus improved knowledge of the ocean is essential. Ocean scientists have made remarkable progress in observation technology, modeling and assimilation in physical oceanography, acoustics, and biology. To some extent, such advances have been confined to each discipline. Therefore a great demand has arisen for a modern distributed computing and networking infrastructure within which we bring together advanced modeling, observation tools and field estimation methods. The paper describes a knowledge network of distributed heterogeneous data and software resources for multidisciplinary ocean research
