On Friday 14th January, we were pleased to welcome Ag Stephens, Head of Partnerships at CEDA, to present his webinar entitled ‘Overview of JASMIN’. The talk continued our ‘Data management and analytical tools for environmental science’ webinar series.
As Head of Partnerships at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) (https://www.ceda.ac.uk), Ag has 20 years of experience in atmospheric and earth observation data management and software development. Ag manages the development of the UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) User Interface and data services and is the lead developer for the CEDA Web Processing Services (WPS). The latter are deployed for CEDA as well as supporting the delivery of large climate model datasets, such as CMIP6, to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Working on a long-term secondment at the Met Office, he works closely with colleagues in NERC and the Met Office to explore and foster data-related collaborations.
In this webinar, Ag describes the JASMIN data analysis facility for environmental science (https://jasmin.ac.uk). JASMIN provides a unique infrastructure supporting large-scale data analysis, collaboration on big scientific data sets, access to Petabytes of environmental data and a range of computing and storage solutions. Ag presents an overview of JASMIN alongside some real user stories that demonstrate its capabilities.
