AB: The Asia-Pacific Data-Research Center (APDRC) provides storage and web-based access to climate data and products for climate studies. In support of the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) and Pacific Region Integrated Data Enterprise program (PRIDE), the APDRC has started product development and data serving for Pacific island regions. This includes the implementation of a high-resolution numerical ocean model and the development of web sites and web-based data products for island communities. The Hawaiian Islands region will be used for pilot studies. One example study, done in collaboration with NOAA/PMEL, is the development of an integrated web site that compiles observations and public outreach efforts in the Hawaiian Island region. Another study involves a high-resolution, regional ocean model of circulation around Hawaii. The APDRC has implemented product server technology consistent with OPeNDAP protocol and procedures to allow web-based access to a broad range of atmospheric and oceanic products. There are several challenges to the APDRC, including how to handle extremely large data sets, such as those from large-scale, high-resolution models, and how to best serve data from a variety of sources and formats (e.g., gridded and non-gridded data, in-situ and remote observations, etc.) The APDRC continues to build and improve upon its data archiving and serving capabilities in order to better serve the climate researchers and the community. This poster will present an overview of how the APDRC serves different types of datasets and will highlight web pages and data products for the Pacific, specifically those near Hawaii.
