WP6SA2: Access to ISENES Data Federation

1
WP6/SA2 Access to IS-ENES Data Federation

• SA2 is a European distributed data infrastructure
  providing access to data from ESM simulations
  produced in the context of IPCC assessment
  reports.
• The SA2 infrastructure will start with existing
  networked data archives presently acting as
  European data nodes for the IPCC Data
  Distribution Centre (DDC) and will operate the
  European data nodes for the next IPCC assessment
  report (AR5).
• ICSU World Data Centre Climate (WDCC) at DKRZ in
  Hamburg, Germany
• British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) at STFC in
  Rutherford, United Kingdom.
• During the project three additional ESM
  data/compute nodes will start to provide services
  within the SA2 infrastructure.
• National Supercomputing Centre (LIU) in
  Linköping, Sweden
• Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC) in
  Barcelona, Spain
• CNRS-IPSL in Paris, France.

WP6/SA2 Access to IS-ENES Data Federation

• Services
• Provision of data accessData access starts from
  the consortium available data archives and their
  web-based access points. Focus will be on the
  CMIP5/AR5 data archive and the European
  contributions.
• File-based data access for bulk data transfer
• Field-based data access for end uder
  applications
• Provision of data processing tools
• Modelling community The service will provide
  support to European modelling groups to populate
  the CMIP5/AR5 data base. The IPCC data
  evaluation process needs network integrated tools
  and workflows for efficient data processing and
  visualisation.
• ESM data end usersFor impact and adaptation
  studies, the service will provide higher level
  data products (maps, pictures, extremes, GIS
  input ).
