This is the DOI link to the poster the BWW Team recently submitted to the NSF
SI2 workshop earlier this year (which I wasn’t able to attend due to inclement
weather).

> Project name: Big Weather Web: A common and sustainable big data
> infrastructure in support of weather prediction research and education in
> universities
> Project type: SSI
> Awards number: 1450488
> Abstract: The goal of the Big Weather Web is to make big data infrastructure
> affordable and adequate for university members of the Numerical Weather
> Prediction community by combining the application of recent technologies:
> cloud services including cloud storage, software containers (e.g. Docker),
> distributed revision control (e.g. git), computer configuration and
> management (e.g. Ansible), and web documents with live code, equations, and
> visualizations (e.g. Jupyter notebooks). The combination of these
> technologies is used to create three “nuclei” (also known as crystallization
> points), pieces of technology that are easily shareable, have the ability to
> grow and improve over time, and ensure buy-in from researchers and students.
> They are: (1) a large ensemble distributed over 7 universities, (2) a common
> storage, linking, and cataloging methodology, and (3) a collection of
> versioned, community-specific software containers that can be easily deployed
> anywhere. The purpose of these nuclei is to improve reproducibility in
> education and research, availability of intermediate results, and ability to
> quickly adopt new technologies.
