    • Speakers
    • Identify reps of various research and application communities for:
      • their understanding and requirements for quality
      • methodology they use to assess and quantify data quality
      • Communities: SST, Ocean color, Precipitation, Atm Chemistry, Land, Modeling, Applications (e.g., Air Quality),...

Old Action Items

  • Hook and Greg: setup a page for collecting and aliasing quality-related terms

Notes

Upload community-specific presentations/papers either to the Community portion of the web site
