**Title:** “Improving Access to NOAA National Ocean Service Model Data with Kerchunk and XPublish”  
**Invited Speaker:** Matthew Iannucci (ORCID ID: [0009-0009-0097-7974](https://orcid.org/0009-0009-0097-7974)) and Jonathan Joyce, RPS Ocean Science  
**When:** Wednesday Oct 11, 4PM EDT  
**Where:** [Launch Meeting - Zoom](https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/83234473026?pwd=mgM3uAuru1AE1aFPlRjW2dAAAyo8IY.1)  
**Abstract:**  
RPS Ocean Science is working with IOOS to improve access to oceanographic model data in the cloud. As more ocean modeling data is operationally available on the cloud, traditional strategies for serving and distributing this data to consumers have become innefficient. RPS is using Zarr, Kerchunk, and XPublish to build new efficient workflows for consumers to ingest, analyze, and visualize oceanographic model data.
