Usage considerations

Legal

  • EPA always has to defend its judgments in court
  • Court needs "preponderance of evidence" or "beyond a reasonable doubt"

--This is quite different from 0.95% certainty.

Science

  • Needs detailed information about sources and models used in "correcting" data

Education

  • Special considerations for "real-time" data
  • Special considerations for hiding and introducing complexity

Data lineage tracking

  • Do we need to coordinate use of conventions, even in readme files, for tracking observations?
  • How do we track sources and magnitude of variance within and across datasets throughout the processing chain?
    • Take as an example the case x and y variance are not the same.
  • Can we list sources of variance that must be taken into consideration as we visualize or composite datasets?
    • Cloud cover
    • Registration issues
    • Instrument issues
      • resolution
      • interference (NOx)

Data quality considerations

  • What is the best way to determine "best available evidence"?
    • How do we know if a remote sensing product has been verified with ground data and in situations comparable to use?
