Model data
Workflow development
Our goal is to develop workflows for publishing Earth system modeling data to the general public in a reproducible and reusable way. We are active in developing tools to standardize workflows for providing model results in order to make them easily accessible on websites and to the general public.
Such tools will include interactive mapview of four-dimensional model data, a categorization of the datasets that allows you to browse and filter them, as well as the option to calculate statistics directly on the data. The download of raw data from user defined regions and time periods will be included as well.
NetCDF Files
In order to use NetCDF files better and easier and to improve their distribution in the context of open data, we are developingtools and guidelines to simplify netCDF-standards and to establish them more permanently at Hereon. For that purpose, we offer advice on CF conventions and continue developing workflows to simplify and standardize the publication of netCDF files including a DOI via theWorld Data Center for Climate (WDCC).
An ongoing activity is the HMG NetCDF initiative which we lead together with people from the KIT to republish joint guidelines for the creation of NetCDF files.
