In this presentation we describe the latest version of the Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) using several operational examples. These examples are chosen to demonstrate the functionality, system architecture and range of users relying on ACIS. A tool designed to support real-time decision-making at the local level by a federal agency highlights a user-friendly interface to ACIS that relies on station-based data. Using this tool we will first illustrate the processes by which ACIS data are continually updated and synchronized between multiple servers. Then, we will show applications for the various ACIS temporal reduction methods.
We will also demonstrate a range of products developed as part of the New York State Climate Change Science Clearinghouse (NYCCSC). Through this example we will illustrate the web service capabilities of ACIS. Using the web service interface, ACIS data and products can be accessed by non-RCC developers to build customized tools. The NYCCSC also highlights ACIS' ability to accommodate both station-based and gridded data sets. This example will allow us to show the use of ACIS to generate products that require spatial aggregation of gridded data.
