SCDS support to IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

1 minute read

SCDS manages the data storage infrastructure and services in support of the new Interactive Atlas of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the IPCC. This new tool in AR6 has been developed in a public-private collaboration between the Spanish Scientific Research Council (CSIC) and the SME Predictia Intelligent Data Solutions. The development of the Interactive Atlas has required the processing and analysis of over 100 TB of observational and model-simulated data. These data have been consolidated at the SCDS and the analysis and processing have been carried out in the infrastructures of the Instituto de Física de Cantabria (IFCA, CSIC-UC), taking ca. 500000 hours of the Altamira Supercomputer and 1000000 hours of the Cloud computing cluster, generating 6.15 TB per month.

Besides the technological development, SCDS will support the maintenance of the Interactive Atlas for at least a 3-year period. For this purpose, CSIC has joined the IPCC Data Distribution Center, along with DKRZ in Germany, CEDA in UK, and CIESIN in USA, being the fourth institution in the world to support the IPCC. Support acitivities will focus on the maintenance of these new technologies and also in the data curation and storage.
