Efficient Access to MERRA-2 Reanalysis Data from the Cloud Archives
Abstract
The Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version (MERRA-2) dataset is now available in the AWS West Region-2 cloud. The free data downloading policy remains unchanged. The NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) offers cloud services such as OPeNDP subsetting, and time series services. This presentation will showcase use cases that testing the procedures and find the most efficiency workflows to access and process the data for finding climate extremes. The use cases include a) accessing and processing data directly in the cloud S3 bucket without downloading it, and b) downloading subset data to process on the user’s local system.
