Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis - the Working Group I Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report - has been released today . This regular assessment provides policymakers with information on the physical science of climate change. Data from key figures of the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) section are now available for anyone to access from the CEDA Archive with more data expected in the coming months. This is the first time SPM figure data has been available on the same day as report publication. ...

The CEDA Archive has been a conduit for the research community to access a range of weather data supplied by the Met Office under the NERC-Met Office agreement for many years. ...

Dear users, Please note the following updates: 1. Network maintenance 14/15 & 21/22 August, at risk in between. As part of work to upgrade the RAL core network (the network of CEDA and JASMIN’s host institution) to 100G, network components will be replaced during the weekend of 14th/15th August with follow-up work on 21st/22nd August. Connectivity between JASMIN/CEDA services and the outside world is expected to be disrupted over these 2 weekends to please plan your work accordingly to minimise inconvenience. The intervening week should be regarded as “at risk” and there is the possibility that changes made on the first weekend may need to be rolled back if the work cannot be completed successfully. ...

As we approach the summer period, please be aware of the limited support arrangements in place which will result in CEDA and JASMIN services running “at-risk”. ...

Update - 20th July 10 am: While investigations continue into the root cause of recent problems, the cluster now appears to be behaving normally. ...

Dear users, Scheduled maintenance is planned for tomorrow, Tuesday 6th July 2021, which will cause some disruption to JASMIN and CEDA services. Systems will be “at risk” and may be unavailable for all or part of the day. ...

Researchers across the UK have been hacking their way through Terabytes of climate data ahead of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties ( COP26 ) in Glasgow on 1st-12th November 2021. Three virtual hackathon events were run, during May and June 2021, by a range of UK Universities and the Met Office, covering various topics: ...

Dear all, See below for an update on various aspects of JASMIN services and dates for your diary. Note that these updates are also available on the website news section. ...

Hi! I’m Elle Smith and I’m a Software Engineer at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA). The first time I started to code was in my first year of university, where I was studying physics. We had a whole module learning how to apply our programming skills to solve physics-based problems. I hated this module, I felt like I never really knew what was going on, but I stuck with it. As time went on and I practiced, I started to enjoy this work more and more, although I still never considered that software engineering would be something I would pursue. ...
