Registration is now open for the Focused Technical Workshop on Improving Data Mobility & Management for International Climate Science to be held July 14 – 16 in Boulder, Colo. The workshop is part of a series sponsored by ESnet and Internet2 and is co-sponsored by Indiana University, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Today, climate data sets are currently measured on a scale of terabytes, but within a few years the
y are expected to be petabytes in size. This data is generated by various sources, ranging from large-scale climate modeling and simulations at supercomputing centers to satellites that are constantly recording and transferring data. Managing this increasing data flow is a challenge for many climate scientists and data managers.
The workshop, hosted by NOAA, brings together network experts with scientists in the domain of international climate sciences to discuss their most pressing network-related issues and requirements. The format is designed to encourage lively, interactive discussions with the goal of developing a set of tangible next steps for supporting this data-intensive science community.
Workshop registration is limited to 100 participants. For registration information, go to: http://events.internet2.edu/
