Extended Range Forecasting and Advanced Climate Applications Decision Support System

Clear Science, Inc proposes to construct the Advanced Climate Analysis and Forecasting - Decision Support System (ACAF-DSS) by taking a ‘Big Data’ or cloud approach and using a clustered computing environment coupled with advanced storage which includes an array based, highly parallel, distributed database. This clustered environment will house two components: (1) the METOC Store - a cloud based knowledge store that combines gridded Meteorology and Oceanographic data with advanced analytic capability and, (2) an advance version of the ACAF, which provides an improved, highly capable user interface and API which will deliver innovative climate data in support of complex mid-to-long-range forecasting questions in support of a myriad of potential users.
