Abstract

Three practical meteorological applications with different characteristics are used to highlight the usability of a computer science workflow middleware called ASKALON by allowing easy access to distributed computing for atmospheric scientists. Utilizing Cloud and Grid computing, this paper shows use case scenarios fitting a wide range of applications from operational to research studies with real world examples from meteorological research. The paper concludes that distributed computing is easily usable for meteorological problems using ASKALON. This powerful tool allows simple and cost effective access to computing capacity from Grid and Cloud environments.
