 Hi Everyone,

 I am pleased to submit for consideration to the Apache Incubator
 the Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer proposal. We are actively

 = Apache ClimateModelDiagnosticAnalyzer Proposal =

 == Abstract ==

 The Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer (CMDA) provides web services for
 multi-aspect physics-based and phenomenon-oriented climate model
 performance evaluation and diagnosis through the comprehensive and
 synergistic use of multiple observational data, reanalysis data, and
model
 outputs.

 == Proposal ==

 The proposed web-based tools let users display, analyze, and download
 earth science data interactively. These tools help scientists quickly
 examine data to identify specific features, e.g., trends, geographical
 distributions, etc., and determine whether a further study is needed.
All
 of the tools are designed and implemented to be general so that data
from
 models, observation, and reanalysis are processed and displayed in a
 unified way to facilitate fair comparisons. The services prepare and
 display data as a colored map or an X-Y plot and allow users to
download
 the analyzed data. Basic visual capabilities include 1) displaying
 two-dimensional variable as a map, zonal mean, and time series 2)
 displaying three-dimensional variable’s zonal mean, a two-dimensional
 slice at a specific altitude, and a vertical profile. General
analysis can
 be done using the difference, scatter plot, and conditional sampling
 services. All the tools support display options for using linear or
 logarithmic scales and allow users to specify a temporal range and
months
 in a year. The source/input datasets for these tools are CMIP5 model
 outputs, Obs4MIP observational datasets, and ECMWF reanalysis
datasets.
 They are stored on the server and are selectable by a user through
the web
 services.

 === Service descriptions ===

 1. '''Two dimensional variable services'''

 * Map of two-dimensional variable:  This services displays a two
 dimensional variable as a colored longitude and latitude map with
values
 represented by a color scheme. Longitude and latitude ranges can be
 specified to magnify a specific region.

 * Two dimensional variable zonal mean:  This service plots the zonal
mean
 value of a two-dimensional variable as a function of the latitude in
terms
 of an X-Y plot.

 * Two dimensional variable time series:  This service displays the
average
 of a two-dimensional variable over the specific region as function of
time
 as an X-Y plot.

 2. '''Three dimensional variable services'''

 * Map of a two dimensional slice of a three-dimensional variable:
This
 service displays a two-dimensional slice of a three-dimensional
variable
 at a specific altitude as a colored longitude and latitude map with
values
 represented by a color scheme.

 * Three dimensional zonal mean:  Zonal mean of the specified
 three-dimensional variable is computed and displayed as a colored
 altitude-latitude map.

 * Vertical profile of a three-dimensional variable:  Compute the area
 weighted average of a three-dimensional variable over the specified
region
 and display the average as function of pressure level (altitude) as
an X-Y

 = Apache ClimateModelDiagnosticAnalyzer Proposal =

 == Abstract ==

 The Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer (CMDA) provides web services for
 multi-aspect physics-based and phenomenon-oriented climate model
 performance evaluation and diagnosis through the comprehensive and
 synergistic use of multiple observational data, reanalysis data, and model
 outputs.

 == Proposal ==

 The proposed web-based tools let users display, analyze, and download
 earth science data interactively. These tools help scientists quickly
 examine data to identify specific features, e.g., trends, geographical
 distributions, etc., and determine whether a further study is needed. All
 of the tools are designed and implemented to be general so that data from
 models, observation, and reanalysis are processed and displayed in a
 unified way to facilitate fair comparisons. The services prepare and
 display data as a colored map or an X-Y plot and allow users to download
 the analyzed data. Basic visual capabilities include 1) displaying
 two-dimensional variable as a map, zonal mean, and time series 2)
 displaying three-dimensional variable’s zonal mean, a two-dimensional
 slice at a specific altitude, and a vertical profile. General analysis can
 be done using the difference, scatter plot, and conditional sampling
 services. All the tools support display options for using linear or
 logarithmic scales and allow users to specify a temporal range and months
 in a year. The source/input datasets for these tools are CMIP5 model
 outputs, Obs4MIP observational datasets, and ECMWF reanalysis datasets.
 They are stored on the server and are selectable by a user through the web
 services.

 === Service descriptions ===

 1. '''Two dimensional variable services'''

 * Map of two-dimensional variable:  This services displays a two
 dimensional variable as a colored longitude and latitude map with values
 represented by a color scheme. Longitude and latitude ranges can be
 specified to magnify a specific region.

 * Two dimensional variable zonal mean:  This service plots the zonal mean
 value of a two-dimensional variable as a function of the latitude in terms
 of an X-Y plot.

 * Two dimensional variable time series:  This service displays the average
 of a two-dimensional variable over the specific region as function of time
 as an X-Y plot.

 2. '''Three dimensional variable services'''

 * Map of a two dimensional slice of a three-dimensional variable:  This
 service displays a two-dimensional slice of a three-dimensional variable
 at a specific altitude as a colored longitude and latitude map with values
 represented by a color scheme.

 * Three dimensional zonal mean:  Zonal mean of the specified
 three-dimensional variable is computed and displayed as a colored
 altitude-latitude map.

 * Vertical profile of a three-dimensional variable:  Compute the area
 weighted average of a three-dimensional variable over the specified region
 and display the average as function of pressure level (altitude) as an X-Y
 plot.

 3. '''General services'''

 * Difference of two variables:  This service displays the differences
 between the two variables, which can be either a two dimensional variable
 or a slice of a three-dimensional variable at a specified altitude as
 colored longitude and latitude maps

 * Scatter and histogram plots of two variables:  This service displays the
 scatter plot (X-Y plot) between two specified variables and the histograms
 of the two variables. The number of samples can be specified and the
 correlation is computed. The two variables can be either a two-dimensional
 variable or a slice of a three-dimensional variable at a specific altitude.

 * Conditional sampling:  This service lets user to sort a physical
 quantity of two or dimensions according to the values of another variable
 (environmental condition, e.g. SST) which may be a two-dimensional
 variable or a slice of a three-dimensional variable at a specific
 altitude. For a two

Hi Everyone,

I’d like to move to the VOTE stage on this. We have updated
the proposal and added in the CMU folks to the committers/PPMC
list.

We need one or two more mentors, though! :) Calling all mentor
folks interested in science and climate! Could use your help.

I hope to have a few more sign ups and the ability to VOTE on
this proposal by next Monday. Thank you!

Cheers,
Chris

[PROPOSAL] Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer

2015-03-22 Thread Mattmann, Chris A (3980)
Hi Everyone,

I am pleased to submit for consideration to the Apache Incubator
the Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer proposal. We are actively
soliciting interested mentors in this project related to climate
science and analytics and big data.

Please find the wiki text of the proposal below and the link up
on the wiki here:

https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ClimateModelDiagnosticAnalyzerProposal

Thank you for your consideration!

Cheers,
Chris 
(on behalf of the Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer community)

= Apache ClimateModelDiagnosticAnalyzer Proposal =

== Abstract ==

The Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer (CMDA) provides web services for
multi-aspect physics-based and phenomenon-oriented climate model
performance evaluation and diagnosis through the comprehensive and
synergistic use of multiple observational data, reanalysis data, and model
outputs.

== Proposal ==

The proposed web-based tools let users display, analyze, and download
earth science data interactively. These tools help scientists quickly
examine data to identify specific features, e.g., trends, geographical
distributions, etc., and determine whether a further study is needed. All
of the tools are designed and implemented to be general so that data from
models, observation, and reanalysis are processed and displayed in a
unified way to facilitate fair comparisons. The services prepare and
display data as a colored map or an X-Y plot and allow users to download
the analyzed data. Basic visual capabilities include 1) displaying
two-dimensional variable as a map, zonal mean, and time series 2)
displaying three-dimensional variable’s zonal mean, a two-dimensional
slice at a specific altitude, and a vertical profile. General analysis can
be done using the difference, scatter plot, and conditional sampling
services. All the tools support display options for using linear or
logarithmic scales and allow users to specify a temporal range and months
in a year. The source/input datasets for these tools are CMIP5 model
outputs, Obs4MIP observational datasets, and ECMWF reanalysis datasets.
They are stored on the server and are selectable by a user through the web
services.

=== Service descriptions ===

1. '''Two dimensional variable services'''

* Map of two-dimensional variable:  This services displays a two
dimensional variable as a colored longitude and latitude map with values
represented by a color scheme. Longitude and latitude ranges can be
specified to magnify a specific region.

* Two dimensional variable zonal mean:  This service plots the zonal mean
value of a two-dimensional variable as a function of the latitude in terms
of an X-Y plot.

* Two dimensional variable time series:  This service displays the average
of a two-dimensional variable over the specific region as function of time
as an X-Y plot.

2. '''Three dimensional variable services'''

* Map of a two dimensional slice of a three-dimensional variable:  This
service displays a two-dimensional slice of a three-dimensional variable
at a specific altitude as a colored longitude and latitude map with values
represented by a color scheme.

* Three dimensional zonal mean:  Zonal mean of the specified
three-dimensional variable is computed and displayed as a colored
altitude-latitude map.

* Vertical profile of a three-dimensional variable:  Compute the area
weighted average of a three-dimensional variable over the specified region
and display the average as function of pressure level (altitude) as an X-Y
plot.

3. '''General services'''

* Difference of two variables:  This service displays the differences
between the two variables, which can be either a two dimensional variable
or a slice of a three-dimensional variable at a specified altitude as
colored longitude and latitude maps

* Scatter and histogram plots of two variables:  This service displays the
scatter plot (X-Y plot) between two specified variables and the histograms
of the two variables. The number of samples can be specified and the
correlation is computed. The two variables can be either a two-dimensional
variable or a slice of a three-dimensional variable at a specific altitude.

* Conditional sampling:  This service lets user to sort a physical
quantity of two or dimensions according to the values of another variable
(environmental condition, e.g. SST) which may be a two-dimensional
variable or a slice of a three-dimensional variable at a specific
altitude. For a two dimensional quantity, the plot is displayed an X-Y
plot, and for a two-dimensional quantity, plot is displayed as a
colored-map.


== Background and Rationale ==

The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth
Assessment Report stressed the need for the comprehensive and innovative
evaluation of climate models with newly available global observations. The
traditional approach to climate model evaluation, which is the comparison
of a single parameter at a time, identifies symptomatic model biases and
errors but fails to
