+Apache Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer
 ================
 
-Rewrite the current Ruby on Rails web app on Heroku (http://cmu-sds.herokuapp.com/) into Java Play framework, aligning with the current APIs, to handle metadata view/creation/deletion of our Sensor Data Service Platform. Also, this platform will allow users to report bugs and have a detailed view of active VS nonactive sensors. This platform makes use of the Sensor Service Platform API, a REST API for interacting with the platform.
+The Climate Model Diagnostic Analyzer (CMDA) provides web services for multi-aspect physics-based and phenomenon-oriented climate model performance evaluation and diagnosis through the comprehensive and synergistic use of multiple observational data, reanalysis data, and model outputs.
