Application Engineering of Big Data Technology for Global Marine Environment Forecasting

Abstract

The thesis explained the construction and development path of the application engineering of big data technology for global marine environment forecasting: opening up a big data collection source global marine environment forecasting, developing the comprehensive data lake of marine environment forecasting, deeply digging the big data of marine environment forecasting, and applying multi-factor composite and multi-model coupled numerical forecasting method and combining with international scientific and technological cooperation and polar scientific expedition practice, to create the application engineering groups of big data technology for global marine environment forecasting. Secondly, the thesis introduced the overview, social and economic benefits of these application engineering groups of big data technology. Then, the current status, business technology level, and guarantee service capabilities of China’s data application of marine environment forecasting were shown in the big data level. Finally, from the perspective of forecasting experience and professional thinking, this study looked forward to the application prospects of big data in the global marine environment forecasting field as well as its technological changes and product (service) innovation.

Remote control? Chinese satellite infrastructure in and above the Arctic global commons

“…Big data provides the virtual fuel for efforts such as global marine environment forecasting, which Chinese scientists are carrying out in the Arctic. By 2020, their forecasting models had supported 10 Chinese scientific missions in the Arctic and 22 round-trip journeys by 15 Chinese commercial vessels via the Northern Sea Route (C. Chen et al, 2020). As more Chinese-built, -owned and -flagged ice-class ships navigate northern waters, China aims to rely on domestically engineered satellites to collect the spaceborne observations required to safely sail the region's melting volumes.…”
