Abstract :
The goal of the development of the Earth System Model Data Information System (ESMDIS) are to provide Earth scientists with: 1) an output management system of Earth System Model (ESM) to browse the metadata and retrieve a desired subset of ESM output; 2) an analysis system of ESM output and other related datasets; 3) an automated pipelining system for ESM data processing; 4) a visualization system; and 5) a Web based user interface to utilize the system. ESMDIS is based on DBMS centric approach, built upon the “BigSur” Earth science data schema, and developed using an object relational DBMS. We have built a prototype ESMDIS, and present the results of its development
