Abstract
Distributed Marine Environment Forecast System (DMEFS) is a research testbed for demonstrating the integration of various technologies and components prior to operational use as well as a framework in which to operate validated meteorological and oceanic (METOC) numerical models. The focus of the DMEFS is to create an open computational web portal for a distributed system for describing and predicting the marine environment that will accelerate the evolution of timely and accurate forecasting. The primary goals are to first, focus the adaptation of distributed (scalable) computational technology into oceanic and meteorological predictions, and secondly, to shorten the model development time by expanding the collaboration among the model developers, the software engineering community and the operational end-users. The web portal provides a secure, seamless access to high performance resources, hiding their complexity. It is extensible and is designed for rapid prototyping, validation and deployment of legacy computational models as well as new models and tools by providing a set of common toolkits.
