JASMIN supports hackathon exploring ocean model data
JASMIN supported over 40 hackathon attendees to help improve their data analysis skills with high-resolution ocean data. The hackathon made use of the JASMIN notebook service, group workspace storage and processing simulations on the LOTUS batch processing cluster. The EERIE project is developing improved Earth system models, harnessing Europe’s pre-exascale computers and considering European ocean mesoscale eddies in preparation for the next Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. The project’s first General Assembly, held in Germany, saw 43 project members from 15 different project partners attend an extra two days for the project’s first hackathon. The aim of the hackathon was for participants to get to know each other while looking at some of the initial EERIE high-resolution eddy-resolving simulations and to gain experience using some relevant software tools.

GWS managers - please complete our survey
GWS Managers: Please take a few minutes to complete our survey of Group Workspaces on JASMIN.
We are initiating this survey to examine the utilization of JASMIN group workspaces (GWSs). Storage is an expensive resource at the scale used within JASMIN and consumes significant energy. Your involvement is pivotal in helping us to understand how it is currently being used and how that could be improved. As a GWS manager you may be managing more than one GWS. In such a case please complete a separate survey for each GWS that you are responsible for. Conversely, if several of you are responsible for one workspace, please coordinate with each other to submit one response per workspace.
