Abstract:
The Earth System Curator team is prototyping a software environment for assembling, running, and archiving information about climate models. The idea is to make it easier for scientists to perform modeling experiments, and to coordinate with each other on efforts such as Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments.
One of the ... first goals of the Curator project is to help supplement and refine metadata schema such as the Climate and Forecast (CF) and Numerical Model Metadata (NMM) conventions so that they better serve model analysis projects, and so that they are complete and precise enough to serve as the foundation for software tools that can automate workflow tasks. The Curator team will define an extended schema that utilizes CF and NMM conventions.
The Curator will be a set of tools, based on this extended schema, that allows modelers to:
-archive and query models, experiments, model components, and model output
-test the technical compatibility of model components
