Data Management for PalMod-II – A FAIR-Based Strategy for Data Handling in Large Climate Modeling Projects

PalMod-II was a multi-institutional research project in Germany focusing on enabling and performing global numerical climate simulations with state-of-theart coupled Earth System Models spanning full glacial cycle from 130 000 years the past to present beyond. The main goal dataset resulting these making it available for reuse by science community in-line FAIR data principles. In this paper, we management (RDM) approach developed employed progress towards that goal. RDM implemented professionals specifically funded PalMod-II, which made possible provide services tailored needs. compilation maintenance of project-wide plan (DMP) has proven essential keeping track serving as central focal point any data-related aspects. These include specification responsible scientists, allocation storage computaional resources high-performance computing system, documentation simulation output requirements, definition standardisation, publication workflows Since executed first-of-its-kind all partners, exhaustive communication at par scientists required create trust collaborative atmosphere within project. Finally, facilitated flagship reuse, will also be follow-up project: PalMod-III.
