Please join us as we welcome Dr. Frédéric Laliberté, a Visiting fellow at Environment Canada in the Climate Processes group of the Climate Research Division, for his seminar titled "Enabling Data-heavy diagnostics for CMIP5 and CORDEX data: A tutorial". Coffee will be served.

Abstract

In this tutorial, I will present strategies and tools that I have developed to help scientists tackle the enormous amount of data made available through the ESGF. I will discuss how a strategy that forgoes the all too familiar download-process-store approach to climate analysis can vastly improve both the reproducibility and the scalability of these analyses. I will argue that with the release of the CMIP6 coming soon and its expected size in the hundreds of petabytes, such a strategy might become necessary to enable progress in the realm of climate dynamics.
