SDS-WAS - Barcelona Dust Regional Center

Listing Description

Result description

SDS-WAS provides a set of services related to the mineral dust forecast. It collects numerical model outputs and observational data from a wide set of worldwide partners plus internally developed. A wide set of post-processed analysis and statistics are generated, and results in the form of plots, tables or numerical (binary) data are disseminated to a variety of users (public institutions, researchers, etc ). Finally, SDS-WAS also organises training courses on dust related research, to give capabilities for generated products usages and other kinds of events (seminars, workshops) related to dust research. The aim is to give support to institutional entities (e.g. National Meteorological Agencies) to warn about possible dust events and to foster the study of dust-related phenomena into the academic and research communities. The EOSC infrastructure will give the possibility to increase the volume of data hosted and processed, reach a wider set of end-users, improve the compliance to FAIR principles and robustness of the whole service infrastructure.
