5. EGEE’09 conference, Barcelona, 21-25 September 2009 SEE-GRID-SCI : Environmental VO 2 main application domains:  Environmental protection/response and geomagnetism  Environment-oriented satellite image processing 5 core applications:  Multi-scale atmospheric composition modeling (MSACM)  Modeling System for Emergency Response to the Release of Harmful Substances in the Atmosphere (MSERRHSA)  Monte Carlo Sensitivity Analysis for Environmental Systems  Climate Change Impact on AQ (CCIAQ)  Environment Oriented Satellite Data Processing + related applications

6. EGEE’09 conference, Barcelona, 21-25 September 2009 MSACM - Main Features GRID environment based integrated, multi-scale Balkan region oriented AQ modelling system Study the atmospheric pollution transport and transformation processes (accounting also for heterogeneous chemistry and the importance of aerosols for air quality and climate) from urban to local to regional (Balkan) scales; Track and characterize the main pathways and processes that lead to atmospheric composition formation in different scales; Provide high quality scientifically robust assessments of the air quality and its origin, thus facilitating formulation of pollution mitigation strategies at national and Balkan level.

7. EGEE’09 conference, Barcelona, 21-25 September 2009 MSACM - Application on the Grid The application is resource intensive and in perspective will have definitive response time limits. It requires computational, storage and networking capacity which is beyond the capabilities of the Geophysical Institute. The application is currently deployed at production-level. The applications input data con be divided into several parts – some of them are more static and some of them vary with the jobs. The total input data can be up to 20 GB. The output data produced for one run is between 1 and 10 GB depending on the inputs. The relatively more static parts of the input will be installed in the Environmental VO application directory taking < 20 GB. The varying input will be transferred from the storage element and the results will be uploaded to the storage element and registered in the LFC. In perspective this application will have hard requirements on the time to finish a computations. Thus eventually it will require MPI with guaranteed startup.

12. EGEE’09 conference, Barcelona, 21-25 September 2009 MSERRHSA Main Features GRID based modelling system for operational response to accidental releases of harmful gases in the atmosphere Performs highly accurate and reliable risk analysis and assessment for selected “hot spots” In case of emergency provides short-term local to regional scale forecast of the propagation of harmful gases Performs, in an off-line mode, a more detailed and comprehensive analysis of the possible longer-term impacts on the environment and human health

13. EGEE’09 conference, Barcelona, 21-25 September 2009 MSERRHSA - Application on the Grid The application is resource intensive – requires computational and storage capacity which is outside of the capabilities of the Geophysical Institute. The application is currently testing Grid mode on one cluster with MPI. The applications input data con be divided into several parts – some of them are more static and some of them vary with the jobs. The total input data is several GB. The output data produced for one run is between 1 and 7 GB depending on the inputs. The relatively more static parts of the input will be installed in the Environmental VO application directory taking < 10 GB. The varying input will be transferred from the storage element and the results will be uploaded to the storage element and registered in the LFC. The application can also be run as series of jobs depending on the inputs.
