// Analytics 

Our analytics services combine NCCS compute power with leading-edge, customizable software tools and web-based interfaces to accelerate discovery with observational and computer model datasets. As the availability and volume of Earth science data grow, researchers are challenged with downloading and processing data, in addition to performing scientific research. Our goal at the NCCS is to simplify the computing process for our users while expanding our portfolio of services to enable analytics on both curated and user-generated datasets.

The analytics performed at the NCCS is varied, encompassing mathematics, statistics, predictive modeling and machine-learning techniques to find patterns and derive meaning from the data. When powerful compute is combined with sophisticated analytical algorithms, user queries can yield deeper information from the data. Users may access analytics tools available at the NCCS, or they may bring their own analytics software and tools to our systems for processing. Depending upon the needs of our users, the NCCS provides multiple levels of Analytic Services.
