1 CEOS Water Portal Status Update WGISS-33 Tokyo, Japan April 23-27, 2012 JAXA/Mission Operations System Office Satoko Miura/ Atsushi Kawai

2 Update since WGISS-32 New features Compare service for MOLTS data Registration service of use case Data Partners Added 2 data centers FLUX data (FLUNEXNET (NASA/ORNL DAAC)) GRACE level 3 data (NASA /JPL) Propagate water portal and Search new partners on IGWCO* meeting at Feb Mid-term Planning Described 5-yeras Road Map * IGWCO : Integrated Global Water Cycle Observation, Community of Practice (COP) for GEO water cycle strategy 1

3 Goal of CEOS Water Portal Data centers In-situ hydrological data (CEOP) In-situ hydrological data (AWCI) MODEL output (CEOP) FLUX data (FLUXNET) Water Portal (JAXA) Input Acquire Data, Use case easily DEM Data Input Model Calculation (eg) WEB-DHM Wide Range of Users River administrators etc. Encourage communication within/across communities Analysis Satellite data (CEOP, AWCI) Scientists Model output Data Satellite data (NASA) Precipitation (NOAA/GPCC) Acquire input data for model easily Feedback as a usecase Results Use case registration e.g. Agricultural drought Hydrological drought Metrological drought

4 Features of CEOS Water Portal Support of Data Integration (1) Data Archive Centers in remote locations are connected using standard data access protocol (2) Single user interface to get the various type of data (in-situ, satellite, and model output) Functions to facilitate Easy Access Registration of Use Case (NEW!) (1) Different types of search features : Category and Map (2) Selected by time range, variable and station (3) View data (gif image) (4)Compare MOLTS data (NEW!) (5) Download data (NetCDF, ascii, GRIB (only Model output)) (1) Users can register their research results (use cases) obtained by using data via our portal, which then becomes available for other users to reference at their data search on the portal. 3

5 IGWCO 2012 meeting As the status update since 2011 meeting, introduce current functions and 5-years road map Demonstrate current portal page Call for partners related to hydrology and water cycle Plan/Start to negotiate with following candidates; GEO global draught portal (located on NOAA/National Climate Data Center) GEO-JRC Global Flood Alert System (located on JRC) GEWEX Data and Assessment Panel GEOWOW (gateway to access GRDC data) 4

6 Data Partners Candidate data center In-situ hydrological data GEMS/Water IGWCO community WFS FLUXNET (NASA/ORNL.DAAC) NOAA for GPCC (Global Precipitation Climatology Centre) (WGISS) search view download UCAR (University Corporation for Atmospheric Research) user CEOS Water Portal MPI (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology) + jblob Model Output data /MOLTS data NASA/JPL (PO.DAAC) (WGISS) NASA/GSFC (WGISS) University of Tokyo (DIAS) Satellite data 5

7 List of data partners/variables(1/2) Data Partners Data Types Variables Server Locations CEOP Satellite PR, TMI, AMSR, AMSR-E, MODIS,GLI, SSMI, VISSR Model (MOLTS) Model(Gridded) In-situ surface pressure, skin temperature, precipitation amount in hour, brightness temperature surface, specific humidity, u- component of wind, v-component of wind, etc Air pressure, surface air pressure, air temperature, precipitation rate, snowfall amount, etc Surface Meteorological and Radiation Data Set Flux Data Set Soil Temperature and Soil Moisture Data Set Meteorological Tower Data Set AWCI Model(MOLTS) surface pressure, skin temperature, precipitation amount in hour, brightness temperature surface, specific humidity, u- component of wind, v-component of wind, etc In-situ Precipitation amount, River discharge, River water level, etc University of Tokyo (Japan) MPI (Germany) MPI (Germany) UCAR (USA) MPI (Germany) University of Tokyo (Japan) 6

8 List of data partners/variables(2/2) Data Partners Data Types Variables Server Locations NASA Satellite Airs level 3 data NASA (GSFC) NOAA (GPCC) In-situ Precipitation data NOAA (USA) NASA (NEW!) FLUXNET (NEW!) GEMS/Water (Planned) Satellite GRACE Level 3 NASA/JPL(PO. DACC) In-situ FLUX data Fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy exchange, etc In-situ Instantaneous Discharge, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, etc NASA (ORNL DAAC) GMES/Water (CANADA) IGWCO community (under negotiation) In-situ Hydrological and Water cycle Data - We are planning to add 2 data centers per each year 7

9 Milestone Data Partners Enhancement to Operation Phase GRACE Level3 data FLUX data 10 data centers in 5 years User authentication Usecase (post/search) 2 data centers added each year GEMS/Water MOLTS-In-situ comparison GUI improvements Free text search statistical analysis Other enhancement by users request Improvements / Enhancement based on users request System Transition Catalog Generation Operation procedure set up Operation Operational system Planned Achievements Comparison Capability User Forum related Capabilities User Authentication Capabilities etc. Development completes 8
