| 1000 - 1030 |
Session 1: Potential New Datasets (Smith) Recommendation 4: Carry out dataset holdings analysis and create a reporting structure that categorizes what is available at GHRC and possibly elsewhere. This compilation should enable prioritization of efforts that will fill the most significant data voids, where these efforts align with the new GHRC mission. Recommendation 5: Update public dataset information pages to include data holding analysis results that might be helpful to the user community. Recommendation 19: Discuss the possibility of getting land data from the SWOT mission archived at GHRC to complement hazardous weather related to floods caused by excess precipitation. |
| 1030 - 1045 | Break - Group Photo |
| 1045 -1130 | Session 2: Operational Improvements
Recommendation 8: Create a data lifecycle process for GHRC that can be applied to current and future holdings. The website should have a clear location where a potential data provider can obtain information on the services the GHRC can provide, including how to submit a request to archive their dataset. Recommendation 9: Develop some guidelines or work flows for GHRC to handle future field campaign data. Online data questionnaire form should be developed further and shared with other DAACS. |
| 1130 - 1230 | Lunch |
| 1230 - 1330 |
Session 3: Science Outreach
Recommendation 3: GHRC should work to enhance visibility (e.g., AMS / AGU, brochures, etc.) once the 5-10 year vision is developed and the web page reflects these objectives. Recommendation 8: The website should have a clear location where a potential data provider can obtain information on the services the GHRC can provide, including how to submit a request to archive their dataset. Recommendation 10: Develop a data maturity model for GHRC data. Provide this on website and include maturity information for each dataset. Recommendation 11: Determine LIS technical specifications for data products, latency, formats, etc. Publicize this future data source at appropriate venues. Recommendation 17: Create data bundles for scientists who want to study processes. |
| 1330 - 1430 | Session 4: New User Tools
Recommendation 12: Develop a single tool that can provide broad use to multiple field campaigns and data types. Support users in their use of the tool (including example code and recipes), and by providing a mechanism by which the GHRC might begin accepting user contributions. Suggestion 1: Supplying APIs in both IDL and Python that allow users to download datasets from their local machines is highly desirable |
