A collaborative platform to deploy regional coastal models.
What is the IOOS Coastal Modeling Cloud Sandbox?
Developed in partnership with Rutgers University, University of Washington, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the IOOS Coastal modeling Cloud Sandbox allows for research and development by providing a virtual environment where coastal models and code can be tested and run in the cloud. As a cloud HPC infrastructure, the environment uses software libraries and tools to run, analyze, and validate coastal models, and to promote research and collaboration.
Who can use the sandbox?
The Sandbox allows users to run regional coastal models in the cloud, rather than relying on limited on-premises computing resources and other available supercomputers. Users might include the IOOS Regional Associations, universities, students, scientists, and other researchers. However, the sandbox is intended for use across industries and is inclusive to anyone who wants to develop, enhance, and run coastal models.
How to get get involved
The Coastal Modeling Cloud Sandbox is the foundation to a growing community of collaborative researchers and developers. For those interested in participating, feel free to engage with other scientists in our message board or contribute to the code. Click the button below to learn more.
