Description
Impact modeling forced by climate data is often connected with big data processing. But impact modelers are often not equipped with appropriate hardware (computing and storage facilities) or appropriate programming experience. Web Processing Service (WPS) is an open standard defined by the Open Spatial Consortium (OGC). It is an interface to perform processes over the HTTP network protocol.
This tutorial in an introduction to an early stage of the ClimDaPs project. ClimDaPs is using WPS for climate data processing. It is based on the PyWPS implementation of WPS and provides additionally a simple web-based user-interface to access and combine climate data processes. It provides access to the climate data archive of the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) for CMIP5 and CORDEX data. Performing simple processes of climate data up to complex impact models are already available within ClimDaPs. One can also visualize climate data and processed results.
Besides the introduction of existing processing possibilities, we will show how you can add your own climate data processes to ClimDaPs and other WPS services.
