Research Data Sts35 year old collection & stewardshipOcean, Atmosphere, operational analysis and re-analysis all data secured on SCD MSS530 distinct data sets, 14.5 TB, 158K files20% server available16.6 TBytes data sets accessed (1999) up from 5.6TB(1995) 7502 CDROMS of NCEP/NCAR, 46% to US users, rest to 43 different countries

TBytes of Data Provided From the SCD Research Data Archives

Data ManagementStewardship of ocean data is done by a meteorological & oceanographic staffEach dataset is maintained in a standardized system

Metadata, identification of files, software, etc are secure under a change control systemEach dataset has a web page that is automatically generated, and is always current.Information interface WEB/ professional consultation (match data with research requirements)

Staff specialist for each datasetUser guides to different categories of dataWeb search tools

Data AccessRemote users

Data discovery is through a web interfaceData packages provided upon requestStaged to disk for network transfer, e.g. FTPA variety of magnetic tapes and CD-ROMSNCAR facility users

Directly accessible to all computing platformsFile location, metadata, documentation, software, and some data are available online through a web interface All users

Receive consulting from staff specialist as needed

Example of ocean data users guide

Example of remote access to ocean model dataMICOM, Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model

Web order interfaceAutomatic processes to stage the data from the MSS and create variable, temporal, and spatial subsetsData selected is staged to a server for FTP pickup

Data AnalysisLarge Unix systems directly connected to the MSS and dedicated to data analysisSoftware, NCAR Command Language with NCAR Graphics

Ingests many standard formats (netCDF, HDF, GrIB) and any others by user designMany built in computation features, e.g. interpolations, divergences, vorticity, etcMany grid transformations, e.g. gaussian to lat./lon, etcFEATURE: We control the design and do so to support the scientific needsMany software libraries to support optimized computationsInterfaces to visualization facility and support

Experience in Service to Research Operates two distinct research computationl facilities.Climate simulationsUniversity community Governance of SCD resources in the hands of the users - two external allocation committees.Computing leverages a common infrastructure for access, networking, data storage & analysis, research data sets, and support services including software development, and consulting.

Climate Simulation Laboratory (CSL)The CSL is a national, multi-agency, special-use, computing facility for climate system modeling for the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). Priority projects that require very large amounts of computer time. CSL resources are available to U.S. individual researchers with a preference for research teams regardless of sponsorship. An inter-agency panel selects the projects that use the CSL. Chair Jim Kinter (COLA)

Community FacilityThe Community Facility is used primarily by university-based NSF grantees and NCAR Scientists. Community resources are allocated evenly between NCAR and the university community. NCAR resources are allocated by the NCAR Director to the various NCAR divisions. University resources are allocated by the SCD Advisory Panel. Open to areas of atmospheric and related sciences. Chair Bert Semtner.
