| Abstract: |
We present our experiences in using a database to improve access to output
from large simulations. Specifically, we have incorporated 20 years of
output from multiple versions of the Chesapeake Bay Program and Army Corps
of Engineers' hydrodynamics, water quality, and watershed models into the
Chesapeake Bay Environmental Observatory (CBEO) testbed. We use the CBEO
database environment to provide efficient analysis between both simulated
and measured data.
First, we will discuss our data ingest process and effort needed to create
usable database tables from raw model output. Next, we will give examples
of research and new analysis techniques from our project made possible by
the colocation of these model data with Bay-wide observational data sets.
Finally, we will offer our views on how access to large data models should
work in the future. |
