Description

NSF NCAR’s labs and programs collectively cover a breadth of research topics in Earth system science, from the effects of the Sun on Earth's atmosphere to the role of the ocean in weather and climate prediction, as well as supporting and training the next-generation of Earth system scientists. However, with the current legacy `download and analyze’ model followed by most of our remote users, we are not realizing the full research potential of NCAR’s wealth of datasets. Our goal is to integrate NCAR’s curated data collections with the OSDF data and compute fabric to broaden access capabilities. In this talk, we present progress on this collaboration and demonstrate geoscience workflows which ingest data from NCAR’s Research Data Archive using pelicanFS via OSDF caches.
