Virtual Research Environment initiatives as part of ODATIS, the French Ocean data cluster

As part of the French Ocean data cluster ODATIS (from the Data Terra Research Infrastructure), we will showcase the Virtual Research Enviroment (VRE) tools and services offered by CNES and Ifremer. In particular, we will present the CNES JupyterHub platform for hosting projects (high computing power with CPU and GPU capacities, very fast and optimized remote access to data products, etc.) together with altimetry specific Pangeo-based libraries, powerful tools, dedicated tutorials to illustrate simple use cases (intercomparison with different satellite data, cyclone monitoring, coastal water quality applications, etc.) and a technical support (helpdesk) for smooth sailing on the platform. In addition, the synergy between satellite and in-situ data will be also illustrated for several applications, such as surface currents, and comparisons between (BGC-)Argo profiling float observations and satellite matchups.
