#W02 Automated Post Processing

Abstract

Performing post processing on model output can be tedioue, time consuming, and the tools can be brittle and difficult to port. The workflow group has worked with the coupled group to produce an automated workflow to perform many of the required post processing jobs automatically, and concurrently with the model run. Post processing jobs include, data transmission, climotology generation, regridding climotologies, timeseries generation, AMWG diagnostics, and coupled diagnostics. The user is given the choice of which jobs to run, and at what frequency. The driving force behind this tool has been a desire to remove the pain points from the post processing workflow, allowing scientists to stop worrying about performing tedious computation tasks, and freeing up valuable time. The automated workflow can be run in parallel with the model to produce diagnostic plots as soon as the data is generated, giving modelers the ability to examine the output while the model is running.
