10. DATA MANAGEMENT AND AVAILABILITY

All experiment participants will be required to contribute a final data product to the experiment data base. Those who do not contribute and those who have not participated in the execution of the experiment will still have access to the data after it has been quality controlled and published as a data report.

June 1997 - July 1997 Experiment

August 1997 - Feb. 1998 Sub-team Data Processing and Analysis

March 1998 Workshop

March 1998 - August 1998 Team Data Quality Control

Sept. 1998 Publication and distribution of data (Version 1)

The data management service will be provided by the Goddard Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC). The DAAC representative is Dr. George Serafino (serafino@eosdata.gsfc.nasa.gov). The science liaison is Dr. Pete Wetzel (wetzel@elena.gsfc.nasa.gov) of the Mesoscale Atmospheric Process branch at NASA/GSFC. The goal is to facilitate easy exchange of data during quality control and provide easy access and comprehensive service after the publication of the data. Effort will be made to link to other data systems (e.g., ARM, GCIP) without unnecessary duplication. An outline of the scope is included in Table 21.
