We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.
Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
This working session brings together perspectives from Earth system modeling centers approaching exascale-scale data archives to share, learn, and document best practices for rethinking and optimizing Earth science modeling architecture. NOAA GFDL presents their legacy architecture rewrite and current technical roadblocks, then facilitates breakout discussions across five topics: (1) Cloud-Native Execution and Portability; (2) Analysis-Ready Cloud-Optimized (ARCO) output and volume/transfer mitigation; (3) Unified Catalogs, Interactive Discovery, and Metadata; (4) Automated Analysis and Post-Processing Pipelines; (5) Impact and opportunities from the AI technological shift. The session concludes with synthesis and community-driven recommendations.
Audience Research software engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, downstream application developers, data managers, metadata specialists, earth system modelers, and domain scientists
