  1. ACISApplied Climate Information System ACIS Briefing Greg McCurdy and Grant Kelly Western Regional Climate Center March 15-16, 2006 NPS Climate Inventory Project Meeting Reno, Nevada

  2. System Architecture • Takes advantage of the internet and the latest web tools • Distributed/Synchronized data bases • Redundancy built in to handle system failures • Flexible interface can link to part or all of the ACIS product suite • Object-oriented programming design allows for extension of capabilities

  3. ACIS Application to NPS Metadata • Already populated with common NOAA networks • NWS-COOP • ASOS • USHCN • SAO / FAA / AWOS • HPD • Non-Western Region metadata already QCed by other RCCs • Allows access to ACIS data products • Will allow ACIS products based on non-ACIS data sources to be produced

  4. State-of-the-Art Techniques • netCDF Data Structures • PostgreSQL RDBMS (for metadata) • Python and JAVA programming languages • Quixote (web application server) • CORBA compliant network software • Open Source software components • Core components built on industry standard, non-proprietary hardware and software • Design allows for integration with legacy systems • Data: non-netCDF files • Metadata: additional tables can be added without side effects

  5. Integrated Data Sources • Time-integrated datasets • Coop-3206, 3200 (final, preliminary, keyed), and NOAAport (SHEF, DSM, local) • 9641 (normals) • 3280 (surface airways) • 3220 (monthly) – planned • Integrated with other data sources • Mesonets: AWDN- Operational • RAWS, SNOTEL, SCAN, USGS - planned • Meta data to support all stations • Resolution of inconsistencies

  6. ACIS Supported Access • Public Users • Web interface to standard ACIS products • Custom interfaces to selected products • Wholesale Users • Manual or automated scripting via XML-RPC • Access to standard ACIS products • ACIS outputs ‘feed’ local products • Efficient access to recurring products • Product Developer • Programs within ACIS environment • Develops new products to satisfy needs
