This seed grant project will pave the way to implementation of an online benchmark ocean circulation solution. In the seed grant we will develop methods and protocols and implement a prototype solution with much smaller data size. The target analytics services are:

• Extraction of sub-spaces of the solution state vector
• Computation of statistics on the extracted sub-spaces, like time series of heat content in a control volume
• Computation of oceanographic diagnostics like fluxes of volume, heat, and momentum
• Computation of conditional statistics, like the temperature on a surface conditioned on strong volume flux
• Computation of Lagrangian particle trajectories starting from arbitrary initial locations
