10 | | As part of the data management activities in these projects, the ''ECOMS User Data Gateway'' ('''ECOMS-UDG''') has been developed by the [http://www.meteo.unican.es Santander MetGroup] in order to facilitate seasonal forecasting data access to end users. The needed variables have been downloaded from data providers and locally stored in a THREDDS data server implementing fine-grained user authorization (see the available [wiki:./dataserver/datasets datasets] and [wiki:./dataserver/listofvariables variables]). Thus, users can efficiently retrieve the subsets best suited to their particular research aims (for particular regions, periods and/or ensemble members) from a large volumen of information. Since [http://www.r-project.org R] has been adopted for a number of tasks in these projects (validation, downscaling, etc.), an R package for data exploration and access has been developed ([wiki:./RPackage ecomsUDG.Raccess]) and additional functionalities will be developed to meet the users' needs. Moreover, a number of alternative tools are being develop in order to provide different user-friendly interfaces for accessing the information (Python, Matlab, web portals, ... ). |
