论文摘要
海洋科学是一项采用海洋模型作为基本研究资产的学科。这种科学建模提供了现实世界系统的数学抽象，例如海洋。然后将这些模型编码为数学抽象的实现。开发的软件系统称为现实世界系统的模型。 为了促进这种海洋模型的工程，我们打算更好地了解海洋模型如何在海洋科学领域发展和维护。在本文中，我们介绍了半结构化访谈的结果以及访谈结果的主题分析〜（TA），以分析海洋建模领域。因此，我们确定了开发人员的要求和障碍，以建模开发和进化以及相关主题。该分析可以帮助了解应介绍软件工程的方法以及需要解决哪些挑战。 我们建议其他研究人员通过在相关领域工作的模型开发人员和研究软件工程师扩展并重复我们的TA，以进一步提高我们在科学建模方面的知识和技能。
Ocean science is a discipline that employs ocean models as an essential research asset. Such scientific modeling provides mathematical abstractions of real-world systems, e.g., the oceans. These models are then coded as implementations of the mathematical abstractions. The developed software systems are called models of the real-world system. To advance the state in engineering such ocean models, we intend to better understand how ocean models are developed and maintained in ocean science. In this paper, we present the results of semi-structured interviews and the Thematic Analysis~(TA) of the interview results to analyze the domain of ocean modeling. Thereby, we identified developer requirements and impediments to model development and evolution, and related themes. This analysis can help to understand where methods from software engineering should be introduced and which challenges need to be addressed. We suggest that other researchers extend and repeat our TA with model developers and research software engineers working in related domains to further advance our knowledge and skills in scientific modeling.
