Easier Access to ESM Data: Implementation at Jülich

abstract = {Improvements in computational speed lead to better
resolutions in Earth System Models (ESM) allowing them to
resolve scales of a few kilometers. The volume of the
resulting data greatly increases with the improvements in
resolution and introduces a challenge to processing and
storing these results.While modern HPC systems provide
petabyte-scale capacity for file storage, analyzing such
data on local user systems can become a prohibitive
bottleneck. Beyond the sheer demands on processing
high-volume ESM data, there is also increasing demand to
make them FAIR and in particular findable.The goal of the
“Easier” module of the Warmworld project aims to
simplify the access to ESM data from different HPC centers,
in particular the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ) and
the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). One aspect is the
creation of a joined catalog following the SpatioTemporal
Asset Catalogs (STAC) specification. This allows browsing
data available at both centers. Details on the STAC
implementation will be presented by Kameswar Rao Modali et
al. at this General Assembly (EGU25-10288).The catalog also
contains links to access the data, either as a download or
later as zarr-stream. The explicit implementation of the
required REST-APIs depends on the infrastructure, hardware
and software, of the data centers as well as the
organization of the stored data.As the first data backend at
JSC, we set up a Fields DataBase (FDB), developed by ECMWF,
to store the ESM results as multi-dimensional data cubes.
For data retrieval, we provide a download service based on
the MARS language for identifying data within the FDB and
the UNiform Interface to COmputing REsources (UNICORE) for
an automated access to our HPC system. The download service
integrates the Helmholtz authentication and authorization
infrastructure. This will allow a large number of
institutions to access these services with the possibility
to control access and resource use.Our poster will provide
details on the ongoing implementation and combination of the
various tools and services used at JSC as well as further
details on the implementation on our HPC systems. In
addition, we will provide first information about the
planned authorization for different data accesses and also
show the performance of different components with a set of
benchmarks.},
