PITHIA-NRF aims at building a European distributed network that integrates observing facilities, data processing tools and prediction models dedicated to ionosphere, thermosphere and plasmasphere research.
About
PITHIA-NRF (Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities)
Project Coordinated by NOA
EGI Foundation Role:
The EGI Foundation supports the project in defining interoperability standards among the participating facilities, and with the broader landscape, including EOSC, and leads the design of sustainable services and activities that will last beyond the project. EGI members deliver a federated cloud environment with a cloud-based ‘EGI Notebooks’ service for the PITHIA e-science centre to offer a scalable and customisable web environment for writing workflows, exchanging workflows, accessing, analysis and sharing of data.
Expected Results:
- Effective and convenient access to the best European research facilities (nodes) for the upper atmosphere.
- Integration tools that enable the establishment of a comprehensive Research Infrastructure.
- Through connection with EOSC, the e-Science centre of PITHIA-NRF provides long-term observational data, required for advancing our knowledge in the Ionospheric, Thermospheric and Plasmaspheric research domain.
- Organised and systematic training on the use of observing facilities and of the integration tools.
- Create a European distributed RI that will provide a range of research support services to the upper atmosphere research community.
