Serge P. Kovalyov · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2006
This report addresses developing next generation integrated information-computing infrastructure for performing atmosphere physics research. The system aims at transparent integration of heterogeneous data sources collected by monitoring atmosphere physicochemical characteristics. System architecture is elaborated as distributed set of databases surrounded by web/grid-services capable to collect, validate, visualize, and compute data. Such architecture is known as data grid and actively used at scientific automation. It belongs to key constituents of e-Science: an innovative approach to software support of scientific research.
