Abstract

The fundamental IT and meteorology research challenges needed to create an integrated, scalable framework known as the Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD) are discussed. LEAD can be used for identifying, accessing, preparing, and assimilating a broad band of meteorological data and model output independent of format and physical location. A distinguishing charcteristic of LEAD is its emphasis on dynamically adaptive, on demand, real time and fault tolerant Grid computing. LEAD also enjoys synergies with other activities in the geosciences.
