  • Output: List of data sets ==> This list is the input to Use Case #3, in which a match-up data set is built.

Preconditions:

  • Data sets must be discoverable with GCMD, ADL or ...

  • Must know certain critical aspects (metadata) about target data set-- such as spatial extent, temporal extent, spatial resolution and temporal resolution,

Triggers:

Basic course of events:

  1. Provide data set search parameters: - spatial range
    - temporal range
    - spatial resolution
    - temporal resolution
    - type (climatology or time series)
    - source (model, in situ, satellite)
    - Access mechanism
  2. Issue request to search engine(s).
  3. Manually filter response to arrive at the desired data set list
