Abstract

 

The Earth Systems Grid Federation (ESGF) is a data management platform designed for the climate science community.   The Federation is comprised of a collection of nodes running the ESGF software stack at various sites.  Each node supports categorical publishing of data sets attribute-based search for stored data, and access control.  Additionally, the software supports inter-node coordination.  ACME has been using ESGF to make its simulation data available.  The ACME site is transitioning now from the previous “front-end” user interface to the CoG interface.   Some other developments to ESGF that will directly benefit ACME include HPSS archive access, server-side and cluster analysis capabilities, and an improved “node-manager” for ACME node coordination.
