Back from the Rasdaman training workshop on the campus of Jacobs University in Bremen, the DeepRain co-ordinator Dr. Martin Schultz sounds rather satisfied: “This workshop was very helpful to all ten participants. Not only did we learn a lot about the amazing technology behind Rasdaman and the thorough design concept, which not only follows but actually sets standards for geographic data processing, but it was also good to find a bit of time to actually work on samples from the actual data that will be used during the project. It was great to learn that we can obtain even more data from DWD than we had thought initially. At JSC we now have to get our heads together to organize the transfer and management of half a petabyte of weather model data. DeepRain clearly is one of the most exciting projects I have been working on in my career.”
