Linaria is a web portal todownload raw data, executecomplex queries and viewdynamic graphics. Datasets

are connected withbibliography, metadata andthe workflows created toanalyze them. The access isfree, but you have toregister.

Evolution of snow extent in SierraNevada, via MODIS products. You can

customize the graph and see thealgorithms used to create the graph.

Collected data is stored in aPostgreSQL database. Thisdatabase is the core of theinformation system. It hasmore than 600 millions orrecords.Data coming from meteo/

flux stations andsatellites areautomatically gatheredusing Kepler workflows

We are usingcybertracker andOpen Data Kit togather fieldinformation viasmarphones andPDAs

Alfresco is being used ascontent managersoftware. All documents(bibliography, slides,reports, etc.) are indexedand documented.

Bibliography is managed byrefbase, a free software which canimport and export references invarious formats. We have morethan 2500 references in thedatabase.

We have created acollaborative encyclopediawith information aboutmonitoring protocols,results, etc. We have morethan 70.000 visits / year

All the datasets are documented.Our metadata system iscompatible with EML and ISO19115(INSPIRE EU Directive). We are alsousing metacat as harvester. Ourmetadata are accesible via KNB

All analytic procedures aredocumented by ModeleR. Thistool is a model repository thathost the recipes that we use tocook our data. Kepler is thecore of ModeleR

Thanks to Mondrian we can createmultidimensional cubes and runOLAP (Online analyticalprocessing) queries to analyzecomplex datasets.

We have also created anews portal that acts as anews aggregator and hasweb 2.0 functionallity. It isconnected with all theworkflows that analyze theraw data and showssynthetic informationabout Sierra Nevada. Newscan be geolocated. Youcan also access RSS feeds,share, tweet, etc.
