Cloud computing for ocean and atmospheric science

Cloud computing has become ubiquitous in modern life, and research. Your email is stored on the cloud and is accessible from anywhere on any smart device. Your music is streamed from a cloud source. You can store your images and videos on a cloud drive and expand the size of the drive instantly for a relatively small cost. You are increasingly using cloud applications such as Microsoft's Office 365, Adobe's Creative Cloud, and Esri's ArcGIS Online (AGOL) to create documents, graphics, and to perform spatial analyses. As a part of your research, you may be using cloud-computing resources such as Amazon's Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft's Azure platform. For analyses you may be using web services such as Esri's watershed delineation tool or the ever increasing number of tools available as “science-as-a-service”.
