What we're working on

The Information Technology and Interoperability (IT&I) webinar series is a monthly gathering dedicated to learning about new tools and techniques in Earth science data. The group is organized by the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) IT&I Committee alongside the USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI).

Title: Hyrax in the Cloud: Enabling Cloud-Performant Data Access with OPeNDAP

Author: Miguel Jimenez-Urias

Abstract:

The rapid growth of Earth sensing data collected by various agencies around the world, com- bined with the increasing volume of output from complex global circulation and climate models, presents significant challenges for data access, distribution, and analysis. Addressing these chal- lenges is essential to advancing Open Science initiatives. Within the ecosystem of Open Science tools, OPeNDAP has continue to play a critical role by enabling scientists, researchers, and educa- tors to share and access large datasets remotely, eliminating the need to fully download them locally.

As cloud infrastructure becomes increasingly integral to modern data architectures, ongoing ef- forts are focused on incorporating cloud-native capabilities into these distributed systems. This talk will highlight OPeNDAP’s past and present efforts toward integrating cloud workflows to provide efficient, cloud-performant access to archival scientific datasets such as HDF5/NetCDF4 and HDF4. The discussion will emphasize the balance between enhancing performance, maintaining data inter- operability and user experience.
