Towards a Long-term Preservation Infrastructure for Earth Science Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effective preservation of both current and historical scientific data will underpin a multitude of ecological, economic and political decisions that shape the future of our society. The SCIDIP-ES project addresses the long-term preservation of the knowledge encoded in scientific data by providing preservation einfrastructure services which support the persistent storage, access and management needs. Using exemplars from the Earth Science domain we highlight the key preservation challenges and barriers to be overcome by the SCIDIP-ES infrastructure. SCIDIP-ES augments existing science data e-infrastructures by adding specific services and toolkits which implement core preservation concepts, thus guaranteeing the long-term access and exploitation of data assets across and beyond their designated communities.

Long Term Data and Knowledge preservation to guarantee access and use of the Earth Science archive
Earth Observation (EO) Space Missions provide global coverage of the Earth by generating on a continuous basis huge amounts of data from a variety of sensors. Locating and accessing these historical data is a difficult process and their interpretation can be even more complicated given the fact that scientists may not have (or may not have access to) the right knowledge to interpret these data....

To study the Iran precipitation anomaly in September to November of 2016 and its probable connection with ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation). This period with similar cases in the previous 55 years (1964, 1983, and 1995 according to forecasting center of NOAA) was investigated. In all cases, ENSO changed from strong El-Nino to weak La-Nina after a very brief neutral period. In the following, o...
