IPRC Theme5: APDRC Overview

1
IPRC Theme-5 APDRC Overview

• Theme 5 To increase understanding of climate
  variability in the Asia-Pacific region by
• developing the computational, data management,
  and networking infrastructure necessary to make
  data resources readily accessible and usable
• undertaking data-intensive research activities
  that will both advance knowledge and lead to
  improvements in data preparation and data
  products.

Overview1. Data Server System (DSS) and Data
Management (DM)

• Identify, download, serve climate data sets for
  research scientists (remote and local)
• Maintain web-based searching, subsetting,
  plotting and downloading capabilities
• Provide direct, binary access to data sets via
  OPeNDAP, ftp, http
• Document all data sets

Overview1. Data Server System (DSS) and Data
Management (DM), contd

• Large output serving (hi-res models)
• Support to JAMSTEC, U Tokyo
• Integrate/implement server technology
• Technology transfer (web services at SOPAC, S.
  China Sea Institute, U. Tokyo)
• Web support for Observing Systems (PI-GOOS,
  PI-GCOS, HYCOS)

APDRC Server Design

• Scientific users ? emphasis on server technology
• direct access to data
• typically large (long timeseries and/or large
  spatial extents)
• OPeNDAP/DAPPER

• Non-scientific users ? emphasis on web
  interface/access
• Plot generation
• More co-ordinated approach
• LAS/DCHART
