The Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM) at ETH Zurich is a joint, interdisciplinary center linking ETH Zurich with partner institutions. It provides a technology and networking platform to support the development and application of Earth system, weather, and climate modeling, data infrastructure, and impact research.

Project background

There is an ever-increasing amount and diversity of Earth observations collected from satellites, airborne instruments, in-situ measurement networks, and high‑resolution climate modeling data produced at C2SM. Harnessing these data effectively is essential for advancing our understanding of the Earth system. C2SM in collaboration with the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) is extending its data services and is building a petabyte‑scale data lake consisting of highly diverse observational and model data.

To address this challenge, a robust data management framework is being developed to make rapidly growing ...
