TBT to 2017, when a joint effort to rescue climate data being purged from government websites was a success that would help for years to come.
It’s not easy. “All these systems were written piecemeal over the course of 30 years. There’s no coherent philosophy to providing data on these websites,” says Daniel Roesler, chief technology officer at UtilityAPI and one of the volunteer guides for the Berkeley bagger group.
The non-coders hit dead-ends too. Throughout the morning they racked up “404 Page not found” errors across NASA’s Earth Observing System website. And they more than once ran across empty databases, like the Global Change Data Center’s reports archive and one of NASA’s atmospheric COAnd this is where the real problem lies. They don't know when or why this data disappeared from the web . Scientists who understand it better will have to go back and take a look.
By the end of the day, the group had collectively loaded 8,404 NASA and DOE webpages onto the Internet Archive, effectively covering the entirety of NASA’s earth science efforts. They’d also built backdoors in to download 25 gigabytes from 101 public datasets, and were expecting even more to come in as scripts on some of the larger datasets finished running. But even as they celebrated over pints of beer at a pub on Euclid Street, the mood was somber.
