| − | Ralph Kahn, an atmospheric research scientist, specializing in aerosols, is very experienced in bringing together datasets from various remote sensing instruments to further his research. Thus, Ralph was able to bring us a perspective of utilizing Data Analytics, for specific science research and discovery, that we had not seen before. Unlike more familiar utilizations of data analytics that draw relationships that provide the means for predictions, and potentially prescriptions, Ralph introduced us to his methods for identifying patterns and relationships between heterogeneous datasets to glean specific science research findings. Ralph indicated that methods employed: scatterplots, difference plots, binning, etc. are specific to the data and the analysis being pursued. Research intense data analytics are an intricate part of the research and understanding the research, being pursued. In a follow-up discussion, Ralph observed applications communities, who tend to perform more routine operations on data, may be able to benefit more from tools that provide data analytics methodologies. (As opposed to one-off methods created for specific research). In conclusion, Ralph described two big issues we face: People Over-Interpreting the Data and: The Easier It is to make “pretty plots,” The more this tends to happen. (The latter refers to the mis-use of data discovery tools to perform or demonstrate science)

| − | Joan next spoke about 'Data Publications in Data Browsers for Earth System Science', introducing a potential effort to: 'Develop best practices for Earth System Science data publications in data browsers by mining scientific publications, producing data publications and disseminating results'. This will be discussed further in Frisco.
