Out there in the cloud, there is more computing power, and there are more databases, more images, more models and more model output than have ever existed before. There also are a variety of projects in different countries to provide ways of making all that information more readily available at different scales and to different types of users, such as the Natural Environment Research Council-funded pilot Virtual Observatory project in the UK, the Earth Cube initiative of the US National Science Foundation, and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems. There also are calls for hyper-resolution earth system science models at the global scale, analogous to virtual observatories, as a way ahead in predicting global change (Wood et al., 2011).It therefore seems worthwhile to reflect on the nature of all that activity in producing a virtual observatory as a representation of our understanding and observations of the real world. In effect, although a virtual observatory might serve simply to facilitate access to existing observations, there also will be a strong driver to blend those observations with simulation models. A virtual observatory will then also serve to manufacture virtual observations based on model simulations, either at places where observations have not yet been made or at times in the past or future where making additional observations is not actually possible and, of course, at places where the actual observations are judged noisy, unreliable, or incoherent.
