1. 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

2. 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

3. 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

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

5. 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

6. 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)

7. 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

8. 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:
Auto redirection from the old address has been enabled.

9. New capabilities – support search with periods
Yearly
Monthly
Daily
Hourly

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

11. 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

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

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

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

15. Mekong - forest
Use keyword “Forest”
Exclude global

16. 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
