All of RCMES is built on Apache OODT, Apache Sqoop/Apache Hadoop >>> and Apache Hive, along with hooks to PostGIS and MySQL (traditional >>> relational databases). The second component of the system, RCMET (for >>> "Regional Climate Model Evaluation Toolkit") provides facilities for >>> connecting to RCMED, dynamically obtaining remote sensing data for a >>> space/time region of interest, grabbing associated model output (that >>> the >>> user brings, or from the Earth System Grid Federation) of the same form, >>> and then regridding the remote sensing data to be on the model output >>> grid, or the model output to be on the remote sensing data grid. The >>> regridded data spatially is then temporally regridded using techniques >>> including seasonal cycle compositing (e.g., all summer months, all >>> Januaries, etc.), or by daily, monthly, etc. The uniform model output >>> and >>> remote sensing data are then analyzed using pluggable metrics, e.g., >>> Probability Distribution Functions (PDFs), Root Mean Squared Error >>> (RMSE), >>> Bias, and other (possibly user-defined) techniques, computing an >>> analyzed >>> comparison or evaluation.
