A system, method and computer-readable storage devices for providing climate data analytics as a service. An example system can include a high-performance data analytics platform that provides a compute-storage fabric, a high-performance file system, and a virtualizer. The system can include an analytic service that transforms multidimensional binary climate data to yield analysis files formatted for high-performance analytic software input and output, that transforms analysis files to yield multidimensional binary files encoded in a commonly used climate data file format, and that performs high-performance analytic operations over analysis files stored in the high-performance files system and collects results into dynamically created data objects.. The system can also provide a persistence service and a system interface. The persistence service can store and manage the data objects, and can deploy climate data server instances as virtual climate data servers in a federated data grid.

A system, method and computer-readable storage devices for providing a climate data analytic services application programming interface. The system includes a programming library that enables client device software to invoke the capabilities of a climate data analytics system through requests to various services supported by the climate data analytics system, and also includes a client-side communications interface that enables the programming library's methods to interact with a climate data analytics system's server interface to obtain access to the capabilities of the system. In one implementation, the programming library is implemented in Python. The programming library can include basic utilities that call a single, server-side method implemented by one of the various services supported by the climate data analytics system, and extended utilities that call a series of basic utilities and/or other extended utilities that have been placed under programmatic control in order to create client-side convenience methods and workflows.

A system, method and computer-readable storage devices for providing a climate data persistence service. A system configured to provide the service can include a climate data server that performs data and metadata storage and management functions for climate data objects, a compute-storage platform that provides the resources needed to support a climate data server, provisioning software that allows climate data server instances to be deployed as virtual climate data servers in a cloud computing environment, and a service interface, wherein persistence service capabilities are invoked by software applications running on a client device. The climate data objects can be in various formats, such as International Organization for Standards (ISO) Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model Submission Information Packages, Archive Information Packages, and Dissemination Information Packages. The climate data server can enable scalable, federated storage, management, discovery, and access, and can be tailored for particular use cases.
