Modeling and Analysis in Marine Big Data: Advances and Challenges

الملخص EN

It is aware that big data has gathered tremendous attentions from academic research institutes, governments, and enterprises in all aspects of information sciences.

With the development of diversity of marine data acquisition techniques, marine data grow exponentially in last decade, which forms marine big data.

As an innovation, marine big data is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, there are many potential and highly useful values hidden in the huge volume of marine data, which is widely used in marine-related fields, such as tsunami and red-tide warning, prevention, and forecasting, disaster inversion, and visualization modeling after disasters.

There is no doubt that the future competitions in marine sciences and technologies will surely converge into the marine data explorations.

On the other hand, marine big data also brings about many new challenges in data management, such as the difficulties in data capture, storage, analysis, and applications, as well as data quality control and data security.

To highlight theoretical methodologies and practical applications of marine big data, this paper illustrates a broad view about marine big data and its management, makes a survey on key methods and models, introduces an engineering instance that demonstrates the management architecture, and discusses the existing challenges.
