2 May 6, 2002Earth System Grid - Williams The Earth System Grid Presented by Dean N. Williams PI’s: Ian Foster (ANL); Don Middleton (NCAR); and Dean Williams (LLNL) http://www.earthsystemgrid.org Presented at: The “EO GRID” Workshop Frascati, Italy UCRL-PRES-148116

3 May 6, 2002Earth System Grid - Williams  Funded by the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC), this program seeks a new paradigm in the climate change community evolving from centralized data sharing to distributed data-sharing.  Enabling geographically distributed teams of researchers to effectively and rapidly acquire knowledge and understanding of massive amounts of climate data holdings.  Multiple interfaces to ESG will allow researchers to focus on science and not issues with data receipt, format, and data set manipulation. Earth System Grid (ESG): Overview

4 May 6, 2002Earth System Grid - Williams ESG: Why is ESG Important to the U.S. Climate Change Program  Climate model output and quality observations are vital to providing timely assessments of climate change and impacts.  Recent U.S. and IPCC assessment efforts made it clear the lack of accessibility to model simulations is a major problem for future assessments.  Access to retrospective climate data (input and output) needed to enable a feedback mechanism to tie researchers directly back to quality control and diagnostics of models.  Researchers require access to “format independent” climate and observational data for case-study & training.  In the U.S., climate simulation can be viewed as a systems problem, requiring a team of multi-agencies and institutions working together in collaboration.

14 May 6, 2002Earth System Grid - Williams ESG: Example of a Web-based Data Portal ( currently serving 40+ simulations of AMIP, CMIP, and PCM data, and growing )

15 May 6, 2002Earth System Grid - Williams ESG: Example of a Client Application

16 May 6, 2002Earth System Grid - Williams ESG: Example of a Script Access  The next-generation language, Python, is used to access the Earth System Grid at LLNL Import cdms db = cdms.open(“ldap://localhost:389/database=demo,ou=PCMDI,o=LLNL,c=US”) f = db.open( “ncep_reanalysis_mo”) ds = f(‘ts’)

17 May 6, 2002Earth System Grid - Williams ESG: Concluding Statements  ESG is a highly collaborative effort and will allow users to quickly access data storage facilities storing petabytes of raw or processed data in an application independent manner.  Payoffs of this distributed collaborative infrastructure, would include: distributed data-sharing Simplified data discovery of climate data Large-scale climate data processing and analysis Increased collaboration among climate research scientists Aid in climate assessments and estimates of future climate variability and trends  For more information on ESG, visit our website at: http://www.earthsystemgrid.org http://www.earthsystemgrid.org
