<p class="MsoNormal">Dear ECCO community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are developing an Open Science Gateway to integrate various computational models and data to simulate on Cloud environments as a part of NASA’s VEDA project. Through that, we are looking for ways to democratize ECCO simulations and data
products on Cloud so that the community can easily access and collaborate on the platform. Currently we have several components developed to run ECCO simulation on cloud, register data products, analyze through notebooks, and download output datasets but we
need to understand what exact functions the community needs and provide these tools in more of a user-friendly manner.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have created a small <a href="https://forms.gle/WFK9pwmxetTzJhMUA">
survey</a> [2] to capture what your specific needs are and what you are looking for through ECCO simulations and datasets to find out how we can better assist you in future through VEDA project. It should not take more than a couple of minutes and we really
appreciate if you can fill it out.<o:p></o:p></p>
