This document describes a research cyberinfrastructure consisting of wireless sensor networks, a research cyberinfrastructure core cluster for data processing and storage, and a portal user interface for mapping and accessing data. Sensor data is collected and sent to the research cyberinfrastructure core for modeling and analysis using high performance computing. The processed data can then be visualized and mapped through the portal user interface. The cyberinfrastructure supports several wireless sensor networks monitoring various locations across Hawaii.
