An Evolving Worldview: Making Open Source Easy

NASA Worldview is an interactive interface for browsing full-resolution, global satellite imagery. Worldview supports an open data policy so that academia, private industries and the general public can use NASA's satellite data to address Earth science related issues. Worldview was open sourced in 2014. By shifting to an open source approach, the Worldview application has evolved to better serve end-users. Project developers are able to have discussions with end-users and community developers to understand issues and develop new features. New developers are able to track upcoming features, collaborate on them and make their own contributions. Getting new developers to contribute to the project has been one of the most important and difficult aspects of open sourcing Worldview. A focus has been made on making the installation of Worldview simple to reduce the initial learning curve and make contributing code easy. One way we have addressed this is through a simplified setup process. Our setup documentation includes a set of prerequisites and a set of straight forward commands to clone, configure, install and run. This presentation will emphasis our focus to simplify and standardize Worldview's open source code so more people are able to contribute. The more people who contribute, the better the application will become over time.

Tidal Energy Resource Characterization, Bottom Lander Measurements, Cook Inlet, AK, 2021

These datasets are from tidal resource characterization measurements collected on the Terrasond High Energy Oceanographic Mooring (THEOM) from 1 July 2021 to 30 August 2021 (60 days) in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The lander was deployed at 60.7207031 N, 151.4294998 W in ~50 m of water. The dataset contains raw and processed data from the following two instruments: 1. A Nortek Signature 500 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). Data were recorded in 4 Hz in the beam coordinate system from all 5 beams. Processed data has been averaged into 5 minutes bins and converted to the East-North-Up (ENU) coordinate system. 2. A Nortek Vector acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV). Data were recorded at 8 Hz in the beam coordinate system. Processed data has been averaged into 5 minutes bins and converted to the Streamwise - Cross-stream - Vertical (Principal) coordinate system. Turbulence statistics were calculated from 5-minute bins, with an FFT length equal to the bin length, and saved in the processed dataset. Data was read and analyzed using the DOLfYN (version 1.0.2) python package and saved in MATLAB (.mat) and netCDF (.nc) file formats. Files containing analyzed data (".b1") were standardized using the TSDAT (version 0.4.2) python package. NetCDF files can be opened using DOLfYN (e.g., `dat = dolfyn.load(''*.nc")`) or the xarray python package (e.g. `dat = xarray.open_dataset("*.nc"). All distances are in meters (e.g., depth, range, etc), and all velocities in m/s. See the DOLfYN documentation linked in the submission, and/or the Nortek documentation for additional details.

Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence/eddy covariance measurements at NGEE Arctic Council site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2022

Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is emitted from the chlorophyll antenna complexes during the light harvesting and photophysical reactions of photosynthesis. It is directly coupled with and therefore can be used to estimate photosynthetic electron transport and CO2 assimilation. SIF, when observed at the ecosystem level, provides information about ecosystem functions that complements the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2, CH4, water vapor, and sensible heat. NEE observations have been conducted with the eddy covariance (EC) approach at the NGEE Arctic Council, Alaska site for years. However, concurrent SIF observations have not been available. In June 2022, we installed the fluorescence automated measurement equipment (FAME) at the NGEE Arctic Council site. The zip file contains 3,187 *.dat files that can be opened with a text editor or in *.csv.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska. Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).

Model, data, and code for paper "Modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x"

The data package includes data, model, and code that support the analyses and conclusions in the paper titled “modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x”. The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate that key streamflow properties such as water depth, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure in a natural river at 30-kilometer scale over 5 years can be reliably and efficiently modeled using the computational framework presented in this paper. To support the paper, various data types from remote sensing, field observations, and computational models are used. Specific details are described as follows. Firstly, the river bathymetry data was obtained from a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey. This data is then converted to a triangulated surface format, STL, for mesh generation in OpenFOAM. The STL data can be found in Model_Setups/BaseCase_2013To2015/constant/triSurface. The OpenFOAM mesh generated using this STL file can be found in constant/polyMesh. Other model setups, boundary and initial conditions can be found in /system and /0.org under folder BaseCase_2013To2015. A similar data structure can also be found in BaseCase_2018To2019 for the simulations during 2018 and 2019. Secondly, the OpenFOAM simulations need the upstream discharge and water depth information at the upstream boundary to drive the model. These data are generated from a one-dimensional hydraulic model and the data can be found under the folder Model_Setups /1D model Mass1 data. The mass1_65.csv and mass1_191.csv files include the results of the 1D model at the model inlet and outlet, respectively. The Matlab source code Mass1ToOFBC20182019.m is used to convert these data into OpenFOAM boundary condition setups.With the above OpenFOAM model, it can generate data for water surface elevation, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure. In this paper, the water surface elevation was measured at 7 locations during different periods between 2011 and 2019. The exact survey locations (see Fig1_SurveyLocations.txt) can be found in folder Fig_1. The variation of water stage over time at the 7 locations can be found in folder /Observation_WSE. The data type include .txt, .csv, .xlsx, and .mat. The .mat data can be loaded by Matlab.We also measured the flow velocities at 12 cross-sections along the river. At each cross-section, we recorded the x, y locations, depth, three velocity components u,v,w. These data are saved to a Matlab format which can be found under folder /Observation_Velocity and /Fig_1. The relative locations of velocity survey locations to the river bathymetry can be found in Figure 1c.The water stage data at the 7 locations from OpenFOAM, 1D, and 2D hydraulic models are also provided to evaluate the long-term performance of 3D models vs 1D/2D models. The water stage data for the 7 locations from OpenFOAM have been saved to .mat format and can be found in /OpenFOAM_WSE. The water stage data from the 1D model are saved in .csv format and can be found in /Mass1_WSE. The water stage from the 2D model is saved as .mat format and can be found in / Mass2_WSEIn addition, the OpenFOAM model outputs the information of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure. They are saved as .mat format under folder /Fig_11/2013_1. As the files are too large, we only uploaded the data for January 2013. The area of different ratio of dynamic pressure to static pressure for all simulation range, i.e., 2013-2015, are saved to .mat format. They can be found in /Fig_11/PA. Further, the data of wall clock time versus the solution time of the OpenFOAM modeling are also saved to .mat format under folder /Fig_13/LogsMat. In summary, the data package contains seven data types, including .txt, .csv, .xlsx, .dat, .stl, .m, and .mat. The former 4 types can be directly open using a text editor or Microsoft Office. The .mat format needs to be read by Matlab. The Matlab source code .m files need to be run with Matlab. The OpenFOAM setups can be visualized in ParaView. The .stl file can be opened in ParaView or Blender. The data in subfolders Fig_1 to Fig_10 and Fig_12 are copied from the aforementioned data folders to generate specific figures for the paper. A readME.txt file is included in each subfolder to further describe how the data in each folder are generated and used to support the paper.Please use the data package's DOI to cite the data package.

Reconfigurable perovskite nickelate electronics for artificial intelligence

Reconfigurable devices offer the ability to program electronic circuits on demand. Here, in this work, we demonstrated on-demand creation of artificial neurons, synapses, and memory capacitors in post-fabricated perovskite NdNiO 3 devices that can be simply reconfigured for a specific purpose by single-shot electric pulses. The sensitivity of electronic properties of perovskite nickelates to the local distribution of hydrogen ions enabled these results. With experimental data from our memory capacitors, simulation results of a reservoir computing framework showed excellent performance for tasks such as digit recognition and classification of electrocardiogram heartbeat activity. Using our reconfigurable artificial neurons and synapses, simulated dynamic networks outperformed static networks for incremental learning scenarios. The ability to fashion the building blocks of brain-inspired computers on demand opens up new directions in adaptive networks.

Physically-based control-oriented modeling for turbocharged stoichiometric spark-ignited engine with cooled EGR and flexible VVT systems

Accurate estimation and prediction of engine gas exchange system and in-cylinder conditions are critical for spark-ignited engine control and diagnostic algorithm development. In this paper, a physically-based, control-oriented model for a 2.8 l turbocharged, variable valve timing (VVT) and low pressure (LP) exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)-utilizing SI engine was developed. The model includes the impact of modulation to any combination of 10 actuators, including the throttle valve, compressor bypass valve, fueling rate, waste-gate, LP EGR valve, number of deactivated cylinders, intake valve open (IVO) timing, intake valve close (IVC) timing, exhaust valve open (EVO) timing and exhaust valve close (EVC) timing. The accuracy of the model in capturing engine dynamics was demonstrated by validating it against high-fidelity engine GT-Power simulation results for various drive cycles, particularly emphasizing elevated loads. In comparison to the open literature, novel contributions of the effort described in this paper includes in-cylinder gas composition modeling and turbine-out pressure estimation.

The LAKE model input dataset for three Arctic lakes

This dataset contains meteorological data collected for three Arctic lakes and compiled to satisfy input requirements of the LAKE 2.0 model. The dataset was generated to act as a benchmarking dataset for future model-data inter-comparisons. The LAKE 2.0 model simulates temperatures within the water later and the sedimentary layer of a lake. The LAKE2.0. is an open-source code and available to download via this weblike http://tesla.parallel.ru/Viktor/LAKE/-/wikis/LAKE-model (last visit July 14, 2021). The meteorological data are required to simulate the surface energy balance at the surface of a lake. This dataset includes a compilation of the meteorological data pulled from multiple data streams, including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) climate data, Circumarctic Lakes Observation Network (CALON) data, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) data. The data were compiled for three Arctic lakes: FoxDen (66.55877, -164.45670), Atqasuk (70.452497, -156.951984), and Toolik (68.63150, -149.60740). Each meteorological data is in comma-delimited format (file extension ‘.dat’) and includes eight columns: Temperature [K], Pressure [Pa], longwave downward radiation [W/m2], shortwave downward radiation [W/m2], “U” wind speed [m/s], ”V” wind speed [m/s], humidity [kg/kg], precipitation [m/s]. In addition to the meteorological data file, we included setup and driver files. The Toolik lake is the deepest out of three lakes and has inflowing and outflowing groundwater data. InflowOutflowREADME.txt has more information about inflow and outflow flies. The other two lakes are much shallower and modeled as a closed system (i.e. no water inflow or outflow).

Re-Organizing Earth Observation Data Storage to Support Temporal Analysis of Big Data

The Earth Observing System Data and Information System archives many datasets that are critical to understanding long-term variations in Earth science properties. Thus, some of these are large, multi-decadal datasets. Yet the challenge in long time series analysis comes less from the sheer volume than the data organization, which is typically one (or a small number of) time steps per file. The overhead of opening and inventorying complex, API-driven data formats such as Hierarchical Data Format introduces a small latency at each time step, which nonetheless adds up for datasets with O(10^6) single-timestep files. Several approaches to reorganizing the data can mitigate this overhead by an order of magnitude: pre-aggregating data along the time axis (time-chunking); storing the data in a highly distributed file system; or storing data in distributed columnar databases. Storing a second copy of the data incurs extra costs, so some selection criteria must be employed, which would be driven by expected or actual usage by the end user community, balanced against the extra cost.

Data for Zheng et al. (2025), "AquaMEND: Reconciling multiple impacts of salinization on soil carbon biogeochemistry"

Soil salinization, exacerbated by climate change, poses a global threat to coastal ecosystems and soil function. Salinity affects soil carbon cycling by directly impacting microbial activity and indirectly altering soil physicochemical properties, but current models inadequately represent these complexities. This dataset contains the observational and modeling data from Zheng et al. (2025), which described a process-based modeling framework that couples soil solution chemistry with microbial carbon cycling reactions to study the impacts of soil salinization. This conceptual model is implemented numerically into the open-source geochemical program PHREEQC 3.0 (Parkhurst and Appelo, 2013). This dataset consists of: - Figure2_AquaMEND_salinity_buffer: Contains model simulation outputs to assess the impact of three different cation exchange and surface complexation processes on salinity buffering (Fig. 2 from Zheng et al. 2025). - Figure3_Salinity_function: Contains salinity function fitting for literature data (Fig. 3 from Zheng et al. 2025). - Figure4_AquaMEND_microbial_mechanisms: Contains model simulation outputs for testing various microbial process-based hypotheses related to soil salinization, including microbial mortality, carbon use efficiency (CUE), extracellular enzyme activity, and other microbial mechanisms (Fig. 4 from Zheng et al. 2025). - Figure5_AquaMEND_Redox: Contains on model simulation outputs to evaluate shifts among key redox processes, such as aerobic respiration, sulfate reduction, and methanogenesis (Fig.5 from Zheng et al. 2025). - Figure6_AquaMEND_sorption: Contains on model simulation outputs for investigating the effects of salinity on dissolved organic matter (DOM) sorption and desorption processes (Fig. 6 from Zheng et al. 2025). - Figure7_AquaMEND_process_couple: Contains on model simulation outputs for exploring coupled biotic-abiotic processes and their interactions (Fig. 7 from Zheng et al. 2025). - data: Includes datasets used to develop salinity response functions and evaluate salinity buffering capacity. Datasets for MEND model calibration. - database: Contains the `.dat` file required by PHREEQC for model execution. - README.md: A Markdown plain text file describing the computational tools and directories.
