GHRC continues to update its dataset guides to include more meta-tags and schema.org microdata to enhance the visibility in the search engines. This ongoing activity will continue until all existing guides are updated. The meta-tags and microdata are being included in any new guides as they are written.
Dr. Sara Graves represented GHRC at the International Computing for the Atmospheric Sciences Symposium (iCAS2013) in Annecy, France, on September 9-12. iCAS2013 is the eleventh biennial meeting in a series hosted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research under sponsorship from the U.S. National Science Foundation. iCAS2013 brought together international colleagues to discuss information technology advances and the transformative infrastructure that allows scientists to investigate atmospheric problems as part of the Earth system model.
GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Web Camera Images GCPEx dataset. These images GCPEx were taken at 5 site locations in Ontario, Canada during the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) which occurred January 15 through March 1, 2012. Mounted as a fixed outdoor camera, the AXIS P1343-E network camera has day/night functionality with an automatically controlled IR filter, adapting to both daylight and dark lighting conditions. These images provided visual records throughout the day of the weather conditions at the site.
GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Visibility Sensor FD12P and Present Weather Detector GCPEx dataset. These data were collected data January 15 through March 1, 2012 in Huronia, Canada for the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx). The FD12P weather sensor combines the functions of a forward scatter visibility meter and a present weather detector. It also measures the intensity and the amount of both liquid and solid precipitation.
Helen Conover and Sherry Harrison represented the GHRC at the AMSR Science Team meeting in Oxnard, CA, September 4-5. The AMSR Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) is co-located with and managed by the GHRC. Ms Conover presented SIPS status and plans, including AMSR-E reprocessing, full resolution browse imagery for the ESDIS Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS), and AMSR2 processing plans. Conover and Harrison also met with Toshi Imaoka of JAXA and Karen Michael of the ESDIS Land Atmosphere Near-real-time Capability for EOSDIS (LANCE) project to discuss near-real-time acquisition by the SIPS of the JAXA AMSR2 L1R brightness temperatures for LANCE processing.
