Abstract

The climate and weather data science community met December 9–11, 2014, in Livermore, California, for the fourth annual Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) and Ultrascale Visualization Climate Data Analysis Tools (UV-CDAT) Face-to-Face (F2F) Conference, hosted by the Department of Energy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the European Infrastructure for the European Network of Earth System Modelling, and the Australian Department of Education. Both ESGF and UVCDATremain global collaborations committed to developing a new generation of open-source software infrastructure that provides distributed access and analysis to simulated and observed data from the climate and weather communities. The tools and infrastructure created under these international multi-agency collaborations are critical to understanding extreme weather conditions and long-term climate change. In addition, the F2F conference fosters a stronger climate and weather data science community and facilitates a stronger federated software infrastructure. The 2014 F2F conference detailed the progress of ESGF, UV-CDAT, and other community efforts over the year and sets new priorities and requirements for existing and impending national and international community projects, such as the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase Six. Specifically discussed at the conference were project capabilities and enhancements needs for data distribution, analysis, visualization, hardwaremore »« less

5th Annual Earth System Grid Federation Face-to-Face Conference report, Monterey, California, December 7-11, 2015

Technical Report Williams, Dean; Lautenschlager, Michael

The purpose of the Fifth Annual Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) Face-to-Face (F2F) Conference was to present the most recent information on the state of ESGF’s software stack and to identify and address the data needs and gaps for the climate and weather communities that ESGF supports. This was the first meeting at which members of the international community, under international ESGF Executive Committee leadership, came together to host the conference. The organizers believed that the ESGF F2F Conference was an ideal gateway for agencies and science project leads to express their current and future data infrastructure needs to toolmore »« less

6th Annual Earth System Grid Federation Face-to-Face Conference Report, December 5–9, 2016, Washington, D.C.

Technical Report Williams, Dean; Lautenschlager, Michael; Cinquini, Luca; ...

Since its inception in the late 1990s, the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) has evolved significantly as a system. As technology changed and its user base grew larger and more diverse, ESGF gradually developed into the state-of-the-art federated system it is today. Due to the enormity of its scope and the urgency of community needs, many features had to be tested in the real world during the expansion process. The rollout of Version 2.4 in 2016 culminated a series of releases and user feedback initiatives that began in 2013. During this 3-year period, ESGF hosted user group meetings to bettermore »« less
