New services and reminder of software changes on JASMIN
Dear users
New services now available Details of the new Rocky 9 environment are now available here .
Users are now encouraged to start using the new login, sci, xfer, hpxfer servers as listed in that document, and to feed back any problems experienced in using these to the JASMIN Helpdesk....
Services we run
CEDA Archive
The CEDA Archive is the national data centre for atmospheric and earth observation and forms part of NERC’s Environmental Data Service - a network of data centres covering all aspects of environmental science. Our team coordinate data management on behalf of NERC for the UK atmospheric science and earth observation communities.
We hold data covering climate, composition, observations and numerical weather prediction as well as various earth observation datasets, including airborne and satellite data and imagery. Our main goal is to ensure that atmospheric and earth observation data are made available and accessible to all in order to fully realise their reuse potential.
Check out the CEDA Archive!
JASMIN
JASMIN is a globally unique data intensive supercomputer for environmental science. JASMIN supports the data analysis requirements of the UK and European climate and earth system modelling community. It consists of multi-Petabyte fast storage co-located with data analysis computing facilities, with dedicated light paths to various key facilities and institutes within the community. Find out how to register for a JASMIN account here.

External Projects and Services
CEDA also provide support for numerous other organisations and external projects. We run the UK Solar System Data Centre (UKSSDC) co-funded by STFC and NERC, curates and provides access to archives of data from the upper atmosphere, ionosphere and Earth’s solar environment.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. We run the IPCC Data Distribution Centre which provides climate, socio-economic and environmental data, both from the past and also in scenarios projected into the future.
Outreach
At CEDA we support environmental scientists coducting climate research. However, you don’t need a PhD to get involved!
We’ve designed some resources to help prompt conversations about climate change and highlight things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint.

Our priorities at CEDA
Big Data Analysis & Access
Our main goal is to ensure that atmospheric and earth observation data are made available and accessible to all in order to fully realise their reuse potential. We hold data covering climate, composition, observations and numerical weather prediction as well as various earth observation datasets, including airborne and satellite data and imagery. JASMIN serves the scientific community by providing a range of computing services (batch, interactive, community cloud) and supporting a variety of data types in a scalable environment, as scientists bring their data to JASMIN.

Collaboration
JASMIN and the CEDA Archive are shared resources for NERC’s environmental science community, encouraging communication and inter-disciplinary working between diverse scientific groups within the community. This helps to reduce duplication of data, effort and resources. Datasets produced within collaborative workspaces can be identified and passed to the CEDA Archive for curation, discovery and widespread reuse. Most of the Archive is also open to all online users.

Enabling Science
JASMIN and the CEDA Archive enable scientists to carry out research that would not otherwise be possible. This could include monitoring UK biodiversity trends, developing the next generation of climate models, improving our understanding of extreme weather. Or it could even be predicting volcanoes or earthquakes, modeling plant health, and gauging the impact of climate change on food production, amongst many others!
