JAXA Prototype System

(Osamu Ochiai)

CEOS/WGISS＃ 21、 Budapest, May 8-12, 20064

Purpose of CEOP: Provide data for water and energy cycle research.

Primary data period: Oct. 1, 2002 – Dec. 31, 2004.

The purpose of WTF-CEOP: to provide services to CEOP scientists – for data discovery, data access and data integration.

- CEOP -Consolidated Enhanced Observation Period

CEOP Data(In-situ Data from 35 Reference Sites)

Four types of CEOP in-situ data

• Surface (19 variables)

• Tower (9 variables)• Soil (temperature,

moisture)• Flux (Sensible

Heat, Latent Heat, CO2, Soil Heat Flux)

CEOS/WGISS＃ 21、 Budapest, May 8-12, 20066

CEOP Data(Satellite)

250 km x 250 km subset scenes, regridded to Lat/Lon grid, centered over the 35 in-situ data sites.

(also Monsoon areas and global data, not on JAXA Prototype System)

CEOP Data(Model Output Data)

NWP – Numerical Weather Prediction data• MOLTS – Model Output Location Time Series (time series a

t model grid point nearest center of in-situ data sites).• Gridded Model Output – 2D/3D time series.

Major National and Multi-National Centers• BoM, CPTEC, ECMWF, ECPC, JMA, DAO, GLDAS, NCEP

, NCMRWF, UKMO

CEOP Phase-2 Concept (1/2)

CEOP has entered Phase-2• Phase-1 (through 2004, end of main data period)

– Main effort was on collecting data – Science application groups were organized

• Phase-2 (2005–2010) emphasis is on research and system expansion to meet commitments to:– CEOS/IGOS-P Water Theme– WCRP/COPES – GEOSS

CEOS/WGISS＃ 21、 Budapest, May 8-12, 20069

CEOP Phase-2 will have 2 parts (follows the same schedule as GEOSS):

• Part-I (2005-2006)– Apply CEOP Phase-I datasets to accomplish Phase-I

research goals.– Build the framework for a water cycle data system.

• Part-II (2007-2010)– Implement water cycle data system defined in Part-I.– Advance research in areas defined in the CEOP project

(e.g. climate modeling, monsoon studies, cold climates, extreme weather events and aerosols).

WTF-CEOP Project2 Prototyping Activities

1. JAXA Prototype System• Provides data discovery, data access and data

integration of CEOP data.• Described in WTF-CEOP Implementation Pla

n #1.2. NASA Prototype System• Provide a bridge between OPeNDAP formatted

data requests and OGC WCS servers.

CEOS/WGISS＃ 21、 Budapest, May 8-12, 200611

1. CEOP Portal in GCMD2. ECHO Investigation to adopt CEOP metadata3. Distributed data access prototype on-going development

• Upgraded LAS software (from version 6.3 to 6.5)• User can choose to be notified by email when data is ready• In-situ data (added download of QC flags)• MOLTS data (access from new custom design MPI interface)• Satellite data (band selection, period selection, download multiple scenes)• Model Output data (access from new custom design MPI interface, convert

from GRIB to NetCDF format)• Automated update of menus as new data is added (in-situ and satellite dat

a)• Expanded User’s Manual• Wrote Maintenance Manual

4. Wrote articles for CEOP Newsletter and JMSJ (special issue)

JAXA Prototype SystemRecent Fiscal Year Activities (ended March 31, 2006)

CEOS/WGISS＃ 21、 Budapest, May 8-12, 200612

CEOP Portal in GCMD

Work this year• Modified existing DIFs to

provide a clear path to access JAXA Prototype System

• Created DIFs for MOLTS data

• Created DIFs for Model Output data

CEOS/WGISS＃ 21、 Budapest, May 8-12, 200613

ECHO Investigation

• JAXA created (CEOP) in-situ and satellite collection and granule metadata

• Ingested the metadata into ECHO

• Investigated search of CEOP metadata using the NASA WIST client

• Studied embedding ECHO client functions into WTF-CEOP JAXA prototype system (especially for satellite data)

WGISS/WGCVCollaboration

Regarding WGCV access to CEOP data:• Science Purpose – check the sensitivity of models with r

espect to the input from various CEOS member products (e.g. MODIS LAI vs. MERIS LAI).

• Focus on two CEOP reference sites– Bondville– SGP (Southern Great Plains)

• Data will be obtained from the system it is now on. The data will be coordinated by placing links to all of the required data on a project web page (possibly on the WTF Core Sites system).
