Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative ARCO Project

[sharkinsspatial]

The Amazon Sustainabilty Data Initiative (ASDI) is funding work to expand the usability of datasets in the ASDI catalog. This work will involve several phases, one of which includes generating Analysis Ready Cloud Optimized (ARCO) formats of datasets currently available in archival formats.

To provide the best experience for end users of these ARCO formats, we hope to leverage the domain knowledge of researchers and engineers through open communication on staged-recipes around dataset specific considerations and format structure. Many of the datasets available through the ASDI are regularly gridded and distributed in archival formats compatible with existing recipe classes or classes that are under development. For these relevant datasets we plan to

1. At a mininum, generate kerchunk reference indices as the canonical entrypoint for dataset usage.
2. Generate a new Zarr archive if sufficient community need exists for a different chunking strategy, optimized for specific analysis tasks.

Below is an initial listing of datasets in the ASDI program that are under consideration for processing in pangeo-forge. We are soliciting community feedback on the prioritization of these datasets and recommendations on format structure. If an ARCO format for one of these datasets would be valuable in your work or you have previous experience with a dataset, please open a new proposed recipe issue referencing this issue in staged-recipes (if one does not already exist).

@sharkinsspatial I do not see the National Water Model retrospective 1km gridded data in the list. I linked the notebooks I used to process this here: https://github.com/pangeo-forge/staged-recipes/issues/224#issuecomment-1450177137

Hello, I am looking for ECMWF ERA5 Reanalysis on a cloud solution for academical work. Indeed, I need some specific variable that are not available on aws s3 solution or on gcp. I see that you consider to process it fully in pangeo-forge. Are you able to give a deadline when it will be available ? Should I create my cloud solution myself which will be redundant with your futur solution and totally contrary to what this project is all about but useful in the short term. I hope I'm writting at the right spot.

Are you able to give a deadline when it will be available ?

No. ERA5 is extremely large and complex. Given the limited resources in this project, we can make any commitments to a timeline.

Should I create my cloud solution myself which will be redundant with your futur solution and totally contrary to what this project is all about but useful in the short term.

Yes, this is what we would recommend.

@rabernat Thank you for your quick reply. Ok so I will create my own cloud solution but I will follow the progress of this amazing project.

@glizee-tech I also needed to access some ERA5 data that was not on cloud, and gave a Pangeo Showcase talk on my approach last fall. Just in case it's useful!

[glizee-tech]

@rsignell-usgs Yes indeed it's going to be very useful! Thank you very much
