This online training course aims to increase scientists’ expertise on data analysis and visualization applied to climate and weather domains, using high-performance data analytics and visualization tools available from the open source market (i.e., Ophidia and ParaView).

ophidia

The training covers topics from simple analytics tasks to workflows and applications (e.g., Python-based) and provides best practices and guidelines on dealing with massive scientific datasets on HPC architectures. 

Examples of real applications of Ophidia for data analytics and ParaView for visualization in the climate and weather domain will be presented. Demos and hands-on concerning the tools will also be carried out during the training. 

This course is organized in the context of the “Centre of Excellence in Simulation of Weather and Climate in Europe” (ESiWACE) phase 2 project.

Topics:

  • Introduction to scientific data management and analytics

  • Big Data in HPC: High-performance data management

  • Analytics workflows for eScience

  • Open-source High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA) tools

  • Data Processing using CDO

  • Introduction to data visualization using ParaView

  • Discussion of visualization workflows, from post to in-situ

 

Audience: The training targets an audience in the field of weather and climate research with different backgrounds, from computer to Earth system scientists. Basic knowledge of the following is expected to fully take advantage of the training:

  • Python

  • Linux

  • General aspects concerning climate/weather data

 

The training will run over four consecutive weeks in October, with 2 hours of work per week required from the participants.

Training sessions combine presentations and hands-on and are scheduled as follows:

Session 1: CMCC - Tuesday, 6 October 2020: 2pm - 4pm CET: Introduction to Ophidia
Session 2: DKRZ  - Tuesday, 13 October 2020: 2pm - 4pm CET: Introduction to ParaView (mainly 2D)
Session 3: CMCC - Thursday, 22 October 2020: 2pm - 4pm CET: Ophidia advanced concepts
Session 4: DKRZ  -Tuesday, 27 October 2020: 2pm - 4pm CET: Advanced ParaView use (mainly 3D)

A detailed agenda for each session will be made available prior to the beginning of the training.
