Aerosol Measurement and Processing System (AMAPS) Icon

Aerosol Measurement and Processing System (AMAPS)

AMAPS is a community-based distributed analysis environment for aerosol science. It is a collaborative project with three partners: the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the University of Michigan (UM), and NASA's Langely Atmospheric Sciences Reasearch Center (LaRC). Funding is provided by NASA's Advanced Collaborative Connections for Earth System Science (ACCESS) program.

The figure illustrates the AMAPS concept: a virtual workspace in which executable "operators" can be invoked on any member data set regardless of actual physical locations of data, operators and users. AMAPS uses the SciFlo grid workflow engine to call remote operators (web services), pass arguments to them, and/or move code and data over the world-wide web in whatever order or configuration is most efficient. This makes access to data easier, allows users to build on and reuse each other's operators, and increases computational power.
