Archive Summary • Online Data • Period, most recent two weeks • ~ 5 TB , public products • ~ 1 TB, data preparation, subsetting • ~ 65 GB Tropical Cyclone Track Data (CXML) • Offline Data • Full period of record • ~ 300 TB, NCAR MSS system
Provider Summary • Archive Status • Service Improvements • Special Projects • Metrics • Future Service Additions
Data Delivery (02/2010) • Data exchanges using UNIDATA LDM, HTTP and FTP • 440 GB/day (ECMWF = 332 GB/day) • 1.7+ million 2-D gridded fields/day
Parameter vs Provider Matrix PL = Pressure Level, PT = 320K θ Level, PV = ± 2 Potential Vorticity Level, SL = Single/Surface Level

2009 Service Improvements • Improved Web Portal Performance • User data selection interface runs smoother. • Automated capability to stage offline data for download. • Added “Client for URLs” (cURL) based parameter subsetting capability. • Directly extract selected 2D grids from files across multiple data providers. • Downloads managed from user’s workstation. • Script templates are provided to drive “subscription style” parameter download capability. • Strengthened data ingest processing. • System monitoring (disk capacity, LDM status, etc) • Failover mechanisms for LDM downtime. • Data integrity checking.
2009/2010 Supported Special Projects • NCAR Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) Google African Meningitis Forecast Initiative • Dr. Thomas Hopson • Integrate weather and health data to manage African meningitis outbreaks (in Ghana as starting point). • Looking for 2-week lead time to position vaccines. • Processing ECMWF data from present backwards through the archive for model calibration. • Total Precipitation, 2m Temperature, 2m Dew Point. • Global Subarea 40 deg N to 40 Deg S. • 0.5 x 0.5 degree resolution. • Assist RAL and Unidata in providing “Real-time” access to TIGGE based Multi-Model Ensemble Forecast data. • http://www.ral.ucar.edu/projects/ghana/ • http://www.google.org/predict.html
NCAR TIGGE Full Model Data Archive Usage cURL impact
Planned Service Improvements • Additional Online Storage • 45 TB data online (3 months of most recent data). • 15 TB for data processing request output. • Interface driven data processing and immediate download capability extended from 2 weeks to 3 months. • Improved “Offline” Storage. • Data being transitioned from current NCAR MSS system to new HPSS system. • Improved access speeds to offline data. • Add data processing capability to offline data? • Expanded/Updated Computing. • Improved LDM ingest reliability. • Faster “turn-around” time on user sub-set requests. • Potential for subscription services?
Potential Service Improvements • Model Validation Data Portal (Pending Funding)? • Wide variety of observational and analyzed data sources. • In Situ Observation data (NCEP operationally collected data). • Ocean based observations (ICOADS). • Global tropical cyclone position and intensity data. • Atmospheric Reanalysis (JRA, ERA, NNRR, CFSR). • Global PCP datasets. • Suggested TWG sets to support FDP’s. • Will need discussions to set priorities for development. • Data sub-set and output format selection capability. • Integrated With TIGGE model data portal • Data analysis tools and codes. • Model Evaluation Tools offered by the Developmental Testbed Center at NCAR • http://www.dtcenter.org/mrt/users
