Notes:

From March 20th Telecom:

Today, from Joan, Rudy, and Tiffany, we received three excellent, insightful presentations regarding the need of data analytics from a user perspective, and a data discovery perspective, as well as useful tools that can help the data user. Please give them a look via the links above.

The ESDA Discussion Forum is open for topic requests, ideas, references, and continued telecom discussion - http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Earth_Science_Data_Analytics/Discussion_Forum

Highlights from Joan's presentation:
- Provides an end user perspective for data analytics tools/technique needs: Risk Analysis, trends of Near Real Time data - Need for linking continuous data from various sources - Use case: Linking Climate and Ar Quality
