[Go-essp-tech] WCRP OSC Poster Session Abstracts

[Williams, Dean N.]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to the WCRP Open Science Conference
being held in Denver, CO this October.  Please visit the website for
full conference information, including conference goals:
     http://www.wcrp-climate.org/conference2011/index.html

- The deadline for abstract submission is 30 April 2011
- Early bird registration is available through 30 June 2011

I am co-convening a poster session, listed below, to which I would like
to encourage you or your group to submit an abstract.

Poster Clusters: Groups are also encouraged to self-organize and submit
clusters of posters addressing a specific research topic in one of the
existing program sessions.  Qualifications and the process to submit
poster clusters are given on the Conference web site
     http://www.wcrp-climate.org/conference2011/clusters.html

Hope to be able to see you in Denver this October and best regards,

Dean N. Williams

P.S. “Please note the deadline is this Saturday April 30, 2011!!!”

Poster Session C31

Data Management, Archiving, and Access from Global to Local Scales

Conveners: David M. Mocko, Mark A. Parsons, Dean N. Williams

This session will focus on the management, access, interoperability, and
use of various data products and services to enable scientific climate
and weather research.  As the volume and complexity of data archives
continue to grow, with the addition of newer and finer-scale climate
data sets, there is an increasing need for new and advanced data
management approaches and services.  One particular challenge is to have
these data sets available in the necessary formats and locations, such
as on supercomputing and other platforms, for scientific researchers.
Furthermore, as data assimilation techniques are used in more
applications, better solutions to bringing the data to the models will
be required.  There is a need for increased coherence in formats, data
structures, and management systems between multi-scale models and
diverse forcing, parameterization, assimilation, and validation data.

This session solicits papers on remote data access tools (OPeNDAP,
GrADS Data Server, OGC protocols, FTP, etc.), remote data services
(sub-setting, format conversion, media and image distribution, data
analysis, etc.), data set metadata and documentation, and methods to
enhance interoperability between these various services.  Customized
data services for specific scientific applications will also be
presented during this session.  We welcome posters describing
management, access, and interoperability solutions for data products
on a wide range of spatial and temporal time scales.  We also welcome
submissions on creative on-line data analysis methods and approaches
that will facilitate selection of key data sets/features from large
archives to avoid large-volume data transfers across the web.  Various
international data archive and management groups are encouraged to
participate.
