Simons Collaborative Marine Atlas Project (Simons <scp>CMAP</scp> ): An open‐source portal to share, visualize, and analyze ocean data

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