The Climate and Weather Science Laboratory (CWSL)

The Climate and Weather Science Laboratory will provide an integrated national facility for model development, the provision and assessment of climate and weather simulations, and establish a readily available archive of climate and weather data.

The virtual laboratory's goals include:

• increase access to data archives and resources,
• reduce the technical barriers to using state of the art tools,
• facilitate the sharing of experiments and results,
• reduce the time to conduct scientific research studies, and
• provide a platform for collaboration and contributions by the Australian research community.

The CWSL Climate Model Analysis Service (cwsl-mas)

The Climate Model Analysis Service is a Vistrails plugin that enables existing scripts and software to be used in scientific workflow and incorporates automatic data annotation (of NetCDF files) and control flow.

See getting started for information on connecting the CWSL Desktop, installation instructions and tutorials.

The CWSL Climate Tools (cwsl-ctools)

This packages contains useful climate analysis scripts that are used within the Climate Model Analysis Service but can also be used stand alone.

The CWSL Workflows (cwsl-workflows)

This package contains example workflows that can be built upon and shared within the Climate Analysis Community.
