The information system See the Sea (STS, http://ocean.geosmis.ru) was developed at the Space Research Institute RAS to provide oceanographers with tools of distributed processing of satellite, meteorological and other data accumulated in the data archives of IKI-Monitoring Center for Collective Use (http://ckp.geosmis.ru/). The system provides not only access to long-term data archives, but also to on-line data analysis tools. A specialized subsystem of description of the discovered phenomena is intended for accumulation and systematization of the knowledge gained as the working result of a research team. The taxonomic classifier has been created to describe the phenomena that can be detected on the sea surface. This paper describes the current capabilities of STS and its use experience in the study and monitoring of phenomena and processes on the sea surface. The article also discusses the prospects for the development of the system, primarily expanding the variety of the data included (for example, Argo buoy measurements and satellite altimetry data) and development of new tools for data analysis and processing.
Keywords: information system, IKI-Monitoring CCU, satellite data, world ocean, radar imagery, oil pollution of the sea surface, hydrophysical processes, vortices, internal waves, river plumes
