An Example of Integrated Science from the Climate and Land Use Change Mission Area:

The Southeast Regional Assessment Project(SERAP)

Roland VigerCommunity for Data Integration Workshop

August 17, 2011

Integration

• Simulation Modeling

• Data– Parameters – Time series (historical, forecasts)

• Project Scientists

Workflows & ToolsPurpose: Share data content for (offline) modelers in group

– Not a general data distribution

• Lots of discussion (years!)• Capture, encoding

• Webex• my.usgs.gov• USGS GeoData Portal (GDP)• Email, ftp, http (sigh.)• Open Standards• THREDDS, NetCDF• PHP, Java

Statistically Downscaled

GCMs

Aquatic Occupancy Modeling

Watershed Modeling

Stream Temperature

Current Climate

Impact & Future

• Process & architecture as a prototype for future integration efforts– Social, technical scientific

• Developed new portals

• Expose services for metadata, data for overall project & non-standard data types

Per-Watershed NWBM Results

What happened behind the scenes?

Current + Historic Climate Observations12km x 12km Grids

Statistical Summaries of Temperature and Precipitation by HRU

Now what?
