Architecting Prodiguer: the next generation French climate modelling data management platform
Mark M. Morgan, Sébastien Denvil, Ashish Bhardwaj · EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts · 2010
The Pierre Simon Laplace Institute (IPSL), like many other climate modeling groups, is involved in the international development of a comprehensive Earth System Model (ESM) to study the interactions between chemical, physical, and biological processes. This work entails the coupling of different components (land, ocean, atmosphere, chemistry...etc) and requires an execution environment platform that can tackle the entire range of interdependent model configurations. Furthermore, the ever-increasing number of simulations, executed against model configurations within scientific computing centres, is generating a huge volume of data and meta-data that must be made available to the international community of researchers, modelers, students and general users.
