From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
Below TB changed!!!
Agenda:
- Invited presentation (Brian Wee, NEON): Overview of NEON and relationship to LTAR (Rescheduled from Nov. 5 telecon, due to some technical difficulties with Webex)
- ESIP Jan. 2014 meeting (Scheduling conflict)
- Prioritize Cluster's 2014 effort
- Inventory of relevant ESIP capabilities
- Conduct "gap analysis" (e.g., needs of LTAR) that ESIP can fill
- Mapping of ESIP capabilities to LTAR needs
- Review of external ongoing work on climate effects on agriculture
Participants: Arif A., Barry Weiss, Brian Wee, Erin R., Josh Lieberman, 2 others (?), Bill T.
Minutes:
- In the 3rd slide (the flowchart one), towards the bottom is the interoperability box. As Brian indicated, that's where this Cluster and LTAR probably can best collaborate in a mutually beneficial way. Brian mentioned that NEON wants all measurements consistently done for all sites and that LTAR wants to follow this mode. In my discussions with Mark Walbridge of LTAR, they are definitely cognizant of the need for interoperability but just have not gotten to it yet.
- In our Cluster's previous discussions, the other two likely broad areas of collaboration are data products and data archive.
- Action: Bill to follow up with Jeff McWhirter on RAMADDA.
3. Prioritize Cluster's 2014 effort
- We didn't have time to talk much about this item. But, I think interoperability is a good place to start.
