The CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System

摘要: The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) has been established to promote research infrastructure that advances Sciences. Information Systems (HIS) are part this infrastructure. information is collected by many individuals and organizations in government academia purposes, including general monitoring condition water environment specific investigations hydrologic processes environments. This paper describes HIS capability developed data sharing interoperability Sciences with ultimate goal enabling analyses integrate from multiple sources. CUAHSI an internet based system support data. It comprised databases servers connected through web services as well software publication, discovery access. provides new opportunities community approach management, analysis their systematically. system’s flexibility storing public access similarly formatted metadata created a resource academic might otherwise have confined private files agencies or individual investigators. integration sources serves prototype network large scale environmental observatories watersheds.
