CEOS WGISS Carbon Data Portal: Progress and Demo CEOS WGISS Carbon Portal Team Reported at WGISS’48 Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam October 9, 2019

The WGISS Carbon Community Portal Goal: To support CEOS Carbon Science Mission by providing easy discovery of and access to carbon-related data resources in CEOS member agencies The Objectives To enable carbon community to easily find their interested data in the CEOS agency collections brokered by both CWIC and FedEO To allow searching and accessing data within collections using CWIC and FedEO with keywords, spatial and/or temporal constraints To provide common discovery and access of all CWIC partner holdings targeting at the CEOS Carbon Community

Carbon Portal Task Team The task team consists of Development team WGISS member agency representatives Carbon scientists from CEOS Climate WG and Global Carbon project (GCP), a Future Earth project Carbon scientists provide requirements, test and evaluate the portal, and suggest improvements Monthly telecon held Funding from NOAA and NASA to support the development team

Portal Endpoints https://cloud.csiss.gmu.edu/carbon/cwicport/ Can be redirected from https://gis.csiss.gmu.edu/carbon/cwicport/ -- old adress

Progress since WGISS 47 Progresses made since WGISS 47 Released the Carbon portal to the communities (Beta version in June 2019, and version 0.9 in September)- Finish the deliverable CARB-15 Worked with communities on the testing and evaluation of portal Migrated the portal to a cloud environment for better services Developed new capabilities and improvements Exchanged with VNSC team on supporting CEOS Chair initiatives

Portal release Including Beta version released in July for community feedback Version 0.9 in Sept incorporating the new capabilities based on feedback Including up-to-date user guides Online interface for user feedback Targeted to CEOS Climate WG and Global Carbon project (GCP)

Working with communities Closely collaborate with CEOS Carbon Task and Global Carbon Project in the development of the portal to ensure it is useful for the community Collaborators are involved in Define requirements Design, test, evaluation Use in their studies Provide feedbacks for refinement and improvement Telecons, presentations and demos have been given to CEOS Climate WG, GCP and CEOS Chair initiative team The portal has been highlighted in the home page of the Global Carbon Project with a live link (See the screen capture right) Feedbacks received from the online feedback system

Migration to Cloud The portal was run on a old, small server with low capability The GeoBrain cloud is a private cloud of CSISS GMU with over 500 CPU cores and 0.5 Pb disk space built by using open source cloud software The migration of portal to the cloud was finished in September 2019. New address: https://cloud.csiss.gmu.edu/carbon/cwicport/ Auto redirection from the old address has been enabled.

New capabilities – support search with periods Yearly Monthly Daily Hourly

Implementation Progress – support search with acquisition types Modeled only Eddy-Covariance Field measurements Satellite-based

New capabilities – Support of more feature formats Added GML support for User-input In addition to GeoJSON and ESRI Shapefile Uploaded map can be used for clipping by polygon

Filter - platform Progress Implementing more filters – Platform Totally 90 carbon relative platforms Platform

Filter - instrument Progress Implementing more filters – Instrument Totally 207 carbon relative instruments Instrument

Filter - GCMD Progress Implementing more filters – GCMD Keywords Totally 1517 carbon relative GCMD Keywords Keywords

Mekong - forest Use keyword “Forest” Exclude global

Way Forward Plan Incorporating revision comments and new requirements from CEOS Climate WG and Global Carbon Project into the new version of the portal Expanding the targeted user communities (e.g., GEO??) Supporting CEOS Chair carbon initiative Tailor the portal to be fit for supporting the forest carbon project at Mekong river basin Specially customized portal Pre-populated products Specific datasets for Mekong Make VNSC carbon data discoverable through the portal Collaborate with VNSC
