  1. A Climate Data PortalAn FY2000 HPCC Proposal Nancy Soreide, Don Denbo, Willa Zhu, PMEL Charles Sun, NODC Bernie Kilonsky, U of Hawaii HPCC Project Review Meeting, Norman, Oklahoma, 24-25 May 2000

  2. A Climate Data PortalOverview • Objective: • Unified, networked access to geographically distributed data from Observing Systems and Historical Data Archives (focus on in situ data) • Method: • Integrate several new, modern and proven network-based applications and technology developments • CORBA/Java RMI Data Server - NOAAServer (ESDIM), OceanShare (HPCC) • Interactive, Java Scientific Graphics Toolkit - NOAAServer (ESDIM), OceanShare (HPCC) • Interactive Java tools selecting data from large in situ data collections - 4dEdit Java utility (ESDIM) • Automated metadata generation tool – NODC/PMEL Project (ESDIM) • Collaborative tool environment – OceanShare (HPCC) • 3D visualization - VRML, ImmersaDesk (HPCC) • Dual access: Web and desktop Java application

  3. Climate Data Portal Network Data Servers One or more Web Servers User Observing System Servers CORBA/DOT* TAO data support Data Web Browser Java Servlet CORBA/DOT* Client Support Network UHi Sea Level Data Data Graphics CORBA/DOT* CORBA/DOT* NODC Archive Data Data Java Application Additional Data Servers CORBA/DOT* Obs. data support Data CORBA/DOT* Satellite Data Servers CORBA/DOT* Satellite data support Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is an industry standard Distributed Object Technology (DOT) Middleware. CORBA is used in the NOAAServer software from which this effort will leverage. Based on performance indicators, Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI), an alternative middleware, could easily be substituted for CORBA. Data Gridded Data Servers CORBA/DOT* Gridded data support Data

  4. A Climate Data PortalProgress • First Year Deliverables: • A Climate Data Portal focused on NOAA El Nino Observing System data • TAO El Nino buoys - PMEL • Sea Level Data Center - University of Hawaii • Historical Archives - NODC • I.e., WOCE UOT (upper ocean thermal) data for this year and NODC TSDB (time series database) next year • Progress and collaborations to data • ncBrowse: operational all-Java tool for interactive desktop graphical browsing of netCDF data files • Close coordination with WOCE Data Product Committee, Java OceanAtlas (Scripps), Data Centers, etc. • Numerous national and international institutions have expressed interest in collaborating (next slide)

  5. Potential Data Portal Partners UA IRELAND (IMI) KOREA (KORDI) PMEL CHINA (NMDIS) NODC CO-OPS JOSS CDC TAIWAN (NCOR) ODU UHSLC IPRC NCSU NCDC CSC AOML FSU AUSTRALIA (CSIRO) NOAA National Coastal Data Development Center Based on CORBA/Java RMI distributed object technology

  6. ncBrowse: A netCDF graphical browserAn operational utility that contributes directly to the Climate Data Portal • Platform independent, interactive Java graphics • Coordination: • Unidata (netCDF authors), EPIC, NCEP, WOCE, and COADS users • ncBrowse reads a large number of different netCDF conventions. • Relevance: • Developed by Don Denbo • Synthesis of NOAAServer, HPCC/OeanShare, EPIC and NSF support • Contributes directly to the Climate Data Portal

  7. ncBrowse: A netCDF graphical browserAn operational utility that contributes directly to the Climate Data Portal • ncBrowse is a highly successful operational utility • Released March 29, 2000 • Downloaded by 244 unique machines in 22 countries • In the first 1.5 months since its release • Inside US: 43 government, 41 US university, and 49 commercial sites • Outside US: Over 100 sites in 21 countries • (i.e., Germany, France, Australia, Italy, and England and 16 others) • Sample user response: • “… nice tool ...” – Charlie Zender (UC-Irvine) • “… this is a great idea!” – Lyn Greenhill (DynaTech Engineering) • “Kewl tool!” – Rich Signell (WHOI/USGS) • “Thanks for making ncBrowse available!” – Joe Van Andel (NCAR) http://www.epic.noaa.gov/java/ncBrowse

  8. A Climate Data PortalFY2000 Accomplishments to date • ncBrowse is the first major accomplishment of FY2000 HPCC Climate Data Portal team • Excellent collaborations established • WOCE Data Product Team and DAACs • Scripps Java OceanAtlas • NOAA data centers and collaborators • Observing System project offices • Consistent with NOAA IT Architecture plans
