Regional Climate Change Water Resources Demo
Demonstration Theme
Decision support client access to water resource and climate change data including IPCC Data Distribution Centers.
Areas of Interest (AOI)
- An area in state of Colorado, near Boulder.
- AOI-1 - about 10 degrees square to show several values of IPCC scenarios ~5 degree data
- AOI-2 - about 1 degree square to show higher resolution data
Scenario Script - Draft
- Display area of interest for context (SDSC CHUASI HIS Main Client and Demo Client)
- Base layers , e.g, roads, boundaries, Landsat imagery, etc.
- Others:
- Display the current situation of water resources
- Station layers: USGS NWIS, EPA STORET and NCDC ASOS networks
- Historical climatic variables (NARR at NCDC, BADC, Others?)
- Palmer Drought
- Socioeconomic layers (CIESIN)
- Drought layers NCDC
- Access detailed data for stations of interest (most vulnerable)
- Access WaterML to generate charts of hydrologic parameters corresponding with the climate dynamics variables
- Discover climate model prediction servers
- Search a catalog (using a GEO Web Portal Candidate?)
- Display climate model prediction layers
- IPCC Data Distribution Centre at BADC: SRES and IS92 Scenarios
- Compare current situation to predicted
BADC WMS for IPCC Data
Capabilities: http://badcdev2.badc.rl.ac.uk/ddc-vis/wms/scenario?VERSION=1.3.0&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
scenario: is92 IPCC Second Assessment Report data
scenario: sres IPCC Third Assessment Report data

The capabilities URL for our development WMS are:
- http://badcdev2.badc.rl.ac.uk/ddc-vis/wms/is92?VERSION=1.3.0&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
- http://badcdev2.badc.rl.ac.uk/ddc-vis/wms/sres?VERSION=1.3.0&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
You will get a whole range of layers having names of the form 'model/variable'. The model term encodes both the model and the IPCC scenario that has been run.

There are data descriptions for everything we have for the US here:

See the catalog of variables link on the above page for details. Not all of these are available but if there are some that are especially useful I can stand them up in short order. If it is useful, we have more spatially detailed data for Boulder (the same variables as above) that I can stand up as well. -Greg Yetman
