What is Curator
• The Earth System Curator project, in partnership with the Earth
System Grid (ESG), is building a web portal that links model
components and data together via metadata.
• The portal enables components, models, simulations, and data
to be searched, browsed, downloaded, and compared.
• The portal and metadata were used to support the ASP 2008
Colloquium
• Project is part of the larger ESMI effort. Cecelia Deluca is the
PI, Sylvia Murphy is the project manager.
• The portal is planned for use in IPCC AR5 as part of ESG.
• Other partners include ESMF, Georgia Tech, GFDL, and
members of the European model metadata community.

10 modeling groups with 11 atmospheric dycore components
Running 22 test cases at up to 5 resolutions
Component comparison table
Automated upload of simulation data, publishing, and
comparison
–
Current PCMDI tables are static, hard-coded, non-searchable
• Data search and browse via ESG Gateway
• Presentation on use of metadata for MIPs for student attendees
