GO-ESSP

Global Organization for Earth System Science Portal is a collaborative, international effort to develop new software infrastructure for climate and weather communities

The Global Organization for Earth System Science Portal (GO-ESSP) is a collaboration designed to develop a new generation of software infrastructure that will provide distributed access to observed and simulated data from the climate and weather communities.

Project Introduction

GO-ESSP will achieve its goal by developing individual software components and by building a federation of frameworks that can work together using agreed-upon standards. The GO-ESSP portal frameworks will provide efficient mechanisms for data discovery, access, and analysis of the data.

GO-ESSP Partners

The distributed nature of climate and weather data requires institutions participating in GO-ESSP to work closely together, crossing institutional, agency and international boundaries. GO-ESSP has evolved into a collaboration that involves software developers from both Europe and the United States.

The agencies and institutions supporting the GO-ESSP are:

  • British Atmospheric Data Centre / NERC ( UK )
  • Central Laboratory of the Research Councils ( UK )
  • DOE,
  • NASA,
  • NOAA, and
  • NSF/UCAR
  • .

GO-ESSP holds annual workshops to advance its work.
