    Abstract

    This article describes the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) mission and an international integration strategy for data, database and computational architecture, and stable infrastructure highlighted by the authors (the ESGF Executive Committee). These highlights are key developments needed over the next five to seven years in response to large-scale national and international climate community projects that depend on ESGF for success. Quality assurance and baseline performance from laptop to high performance computing characterizes available and potential data streams and strategies. These are required for interactive data collections to remedy gaps in handling enormous international federated climate data archives. Appropriate cyber security ensures protection of data according to projects but still allows access and portability to different ESGF and individual groups and users. A timeline and plan for forecasting interoperable tools takes ESGF from a federated database archive to a robust virtual laboratory and concludes the article.
