Abstract:
We present a straightforward and low-cost approach to publish variables archived at NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) to the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF). An ESGF publication requires a single standard-name variable aggregated over time to facilitate data inter-comparison. It also contains significant metadata to enable searching in ESGF. We look up standard names on high demand in ESGF search history, and using OPeNDAP and NcML technologies we aggregate the corresponding variables available in the GES DISC archive with augmented metadata required by CMIP6 and obs4MIPs Data Specification version 2.1. At this writing 10 variables from a standard product of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder along with the Tech Notes are published in ESGF by NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS). Users can view, analyze, and subset remotely, and download these aggregated variables via links in any ESGF node after searching. We plan to work on and publish more variables and data from different NASA missions and experiments in our archive.
