Introduction to CHARMe
28. Some advanced use cases...
Climate data users
discuss about data:
- Intercompare
datasets
- Research on events
timing
- Focus on specific
areas of the world

38. Fine-Grained Commentary Tool
Focus on user commentary
Planned to expand the tool to cope with other kinds of metadata
Fine-grained commentary metadata:
Targets are not entire datasets but subsets of them:
• An entire variable/field within a dataset
• Time intervals or an instant
• A pixel, a bounding box, a drawn polygon, an area of interest
• A vertical section
• A transect
• A combination of the above

• CHARMe aids evaluation of datasets and
informs climate data users’ decisions – are
we working towards the same objective?

• What’s exactly the CoG Environment?
• NCPP to provide standard-based evaluation
capabilities. Can we use the same
standards?
56. NCPP + CHARMe
• Can any of these benefit from the CHARMe
Plugin?
• Earth System Grid (ESG)
• CIM Metadata Viewer and Comparator

• CIM Metadata Viewer and Comparator
• Which are some problem specific case
studies within NCPP environment? Can we
build a customized tool for your users once
the CHARMe System is in place?
