Web and Grid servicesfor large Model data sets

• (Data discovery) Nerc DataGrid
• Distributed Data Management Layer (GADS)
• Data Delivery Service (http, ftp, gridftp,
  security)
• Visualisation Services (Server side, distributed,
  client side)
• Data Transformation services (interpolation,
  re-mapping..)
• Diagnostics and intercomparison services (Grid
  Services)
