Agenda

  • Preparation for the Summer EIP Meeting in Santa Fe: ESIP Summer 2011 Meeting
    • Speakers
      • Main topics to discuss at the summer meeting - which ones are the most important:
        • Terminology/taxonomy
        • Data Intercomparison and quality harmonization
        • Best practices in different communities
        • Fit-for-purpose criteria for data quality (e.g., climate change need vs. near-real-time monitoring need)
        • Level 2 Quality flags (and what do they tell about the product quality)
        • Level 3 "Quality" (what’s that?)
        • Propagation of L2 uncertainty to L3

        • Presenting data quality to users
      • Breakout sessions – how many?
      • 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),...
  • How and when for IQ telecons
    • One main topic per telecon (presentation via WebEx)
    • Every other Friday at 2:30 pm Eastern time (have been told that Fridays are on half hour somehow...
