Collaborative Climate Community Data and Processing Grid

This repository is no longer available. C3-Grid is an ALREADY FINISHED project within D-Grid, the initiative to promote a grid-based e-Science framework in Germany. The goal of C3-Grid is to support the workflow of Earth system researchers. A grid infrastructure will be implemented that allows efficient distributed data processing and inter-institutional data exchange. Aim of the effort was to develop an infrastructure for uniform access to heterogeneous data and distributed data processing. The work was structured in two projects funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The first project was part of the D-Grid initiative and explored the potential of grid technology for climate research and developed a prototype infrastructure. Details about the C3Grid architecture are described in “Earth System Modelling – Volume 6”. In the second phase "C3Grid - INAD: Towards an Infrastructure for General Access to Climate Data" this infrastructure was improved especially with respect to interoperability to Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF). Further the portfolio of available diagnostic workflows was expanded. These workflows can be re-used now in adjacent infrastructures MiKlip Evaluation Tool (http://www.fona-miklip.de/en/index.php) and as Web Processes within the Birdhouse Framework (http://bird-house.github.io/). The Birdhouse Framework is now funded as part of the European Copernicus Climate Change Service (https://climate.copernicus.eu/) managed by ECMWF and will be extended to provide scalable processing services for ESGF hosted data at DKRZ as well as IPSL and BADC.

本存储库已不再可用。C3-Grid 是 D-Grid 项目中的一个已完成项目，D-Grid 是旨在推广德国基于网格的电子科学框架的倡议。C3-Grid 的目标是为地球系统研究人员提供支持其工作流程的解决方案。将实施一个网格基础设施，以实现高效的数据分布式处理和跨机构数据交换。该项目的目标是开发一个基础设施，以实现异构数据的统一访问和分布式数据处理。该工作分为两个由联邦教育与研究部资助的项目进行结构化。第一个项目是 D-Grid 创新计划的一部分，探讨了网格技术在气候研究中的潜力，并开发了一个原型基础设施。关于 C3Grid 架构的详细信息可在《地球系统建模 - 第 6 卷》中找到。在第二阶段“C3Grid - INAD：向通用访问气候数据基础设施迈进”中，该基础设施在地球系统网格联盟（ESGF）的互操作性方面得到了特别改进。此外，可用的诊断工作流程组合也得到了扩展。现在，这些工作流程可以在相邻的基础设施 MiKlip 评估工具（http://www.fona-miklip.de/en/index.php）以及作为 Birdhouse 框架（http://bird-house.github.io/）内的 Web 进程中进行重用。Birdhouse 框架现在作为欧洲哥白尼气候变化服务（https://climate.copernicus.eu/）的一部分得到资助，该服务由 ECMWF 管理，并将扩展以提供可扩展的处理服务，用于在 DKRZ 以及 IPSL 和 BADC 托管的 ESGF 数据。
