The first VAX computer in the Laboratory for Oceans Computing Facility (LOCF) was installed and the facility was largely expanded. The growth is not only in hardware and software, but also in the number of users and in supporting research and development projects. The LOCF serves as a general purpose computing facility for: ocean color research projects, sea ice research projects, processing of the Nimbus-7 Coastal Zone Color Scanner data set, real time ingest and analysis of TIROS-N satellite data, study of the Synthetic Aperture Radar data, study of LANDSAT data, and many others. The physical space and the electrical power layout of the computing room were modified to accommodate all the equipment. The LOCF has several image processing stations which include two International Imaging Systems (IIS) model 75 processors and one Adage processor. The facility has the capability of ingesting the TIROS-N HRPT satellite data on a real time basis. More than 30 software packages were installed on the systems. System software packages, network software, FORTRAN and C compilers, database management software, image processing software, graphics, mathematics and statistics packages, TAE, Catalog Manager, GEMPAK, LAS and many other software developed on the LOCF computers such as SEAPAK have greatly advanced the capability of the LOCF. |
