An Atmospheric Sciences Workflow and its implementation with Web Services
Computational and data Grids couple geographically distributed resources such as high performance computers, workstations, clusters, and scientific instruments. Grid Workflows consist of a number of components, including: computational models, distributed files, scientific instruments and special hardware platforms. In this paper, we describe an interesting grid workflow in atmospheric sciences and show how it can be implemented using Web Services. An interesting attribute of our implementation technique is that the application codes can be adapted to work on the Grid without source modification.
