  1. ARCSS Data Management Support Overview and Update James Moore Steve Williams NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory 3-5 October 2007

  2. ARCSS Interim Data Management Support at NCAR/EOL • Develop ARCSS data management web pages (simple extensions of existing formats) at EOL • links to NSIDC and other ARCSS data locations • Prepare and distribute introductory letter to all ARCSS PIs introducing new approach and structure • Develop inventory of present and known future ARCSS projects in ARCSS, ANS, AON (if applicable) and possibly IPY and Social science projects • Provide guidelines to PIs for metadata generation, documentation preparation, and dataset formatting

  3. General Data Management Considerations • Develop a consistent Data Policy • Consider Data Types Formats and Documentation (metadata) • Data Collection strategies (operations support, supplementary data) • Real-time Requirements ( data calibration, intercomparison, and needs for operational decision making) • Data Quality Control and Processing responsibilities • Data Archive structure, functions and responsibilities • Data Distribution protocols (user interface, metadata inventories, browse products) • Collaboration with other programs and data centers (interoperability)

  4. BEST 2007 Data Management Support BEST Data Archival - Next Steps: Standards • Dataset documentation and Format • Standard Fields (Cruise, Station, cast, bottle numbers) • Informative Header (Dataset Author, version #, cruise #, variable names, units) • Dates/Times in UTC • Lat,Lon in decimal degrees • Missing or Bad Data Flags • Dataset Metadata • Title, Author and Contact Info • Project Name, Grant number and Funding source • Dataset Overview • Data Collection and Processing procedures • Format, Remarks, References • Keywords

  5. ARCSS Interim Data Management Support at NCAR/EOL (cont) • Develop data tables for ARCSS datasets using established EOL procedures • Archive data and metadata on EOL Data Management System (EMDAC) • Prepare and present updates and reports to the AC as requested • Initiate discussions and develop a strategy for transfer of ARCSS data from NSIDC to EOL and/or other long term archive • Participate as appropriate in ARCSS meetings, conference calls, etc.

  6. ARCSS Projects Archive • ATLAS • ITEX • SHEBA • BEST • SBI Phase 1 • SBI Phase 2 • SBI Phase 3 • Individual PI Datasets • Others to include??
