February 2014 Release Schedule

This is the release schedule agreed to at the 02/24/14 prioritization meeting. The schedule may have evolved since then. Please see the list of releases for the current state of the software. All development tasks assume full backwards compatiblity unless explicitly stated otherwise.
 
AS BUILT OpenClimateGIS v0.07.1b:  February 2014
  • Redesign backend data interface to accommodate 5-d data representations. This will allow realizations to be incorporated into array storage to facilitate ensemble calculations. In addition, the codebase will be reduced to allow easier subclassing of data interface components.
  • Integrate Fiona (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Fiona) for writing of additional OGC vector formats (e.g. Google Earth KML).
  • Full projection (i.e. coordinate reference system) management of raster data representations (vector projection management is currently supported). This change will ease the incorporation of regridding on the backend by simplifying the transfer of gridded coordinates following subsetting/projecting.
  • Option to interpolate spatial bounds if they are missing on the source dataset.
OpenClimateGIS v0.08b: May 2014
  • Enhance Climate and Forecasting metadata handling for netCDF output. This will include additions to the history attribute, modifying any time/spatial extent variables following subsetting, and improving climatological outputs (e.g. modify "cell_area" attribute).
  • Data units transformation and management - the software will manage unit conversion when necessary provided the data provides a units attribute or is overloaded as part of the request.
  • Support seasonal aggregations for calculations that may be composed of arbitrary month sets such as June, July, and August.
  • Prototype data interface to vector GIS formats in UV-CDAT. UV-CDAT plans to use OCGIS to enable the ESRI Shapefile format as a dataset object available inside UV-CDAT.
  • Finalize data interface to vector GIS formats in UV-CDAT.
OpenClimateGIS v0.09b: August 2014
  • Implement prototype GIS operations into UV-CDAT. Once the ESRI data structures are in UV-CDAT (release v0.08b) GIS operations will be prototyped.
  • Reduce test file size requirements. Numerous large NetCDF files are used by the test harness. These files are unique in terms of metadata structure and data content. However, it is inconvenient for customers to download 8GB of test data if they wish to run tests outside the simple variety.
  • Select test datasets for calculations library. A set of test files encompassing the types of files NCPP would like to perform computations on will be useful when developing a standard set of unit tests.
  • Enable ESMPy regridding. This will enable data regridding in addition to data conversion.
