providers and repositories disseminate data leading to complex volumes
of metadata and documentation accompanying their data. Users are
increasingly becoming aware of uncertainty information, but not all
users know where to find it, as it can be found in documentation,
metadata, or only be available in a private repository. Without
uncertainty information made publicly available for specific data, users
are likely to be less informed about critical data in question, leading
to reduced usability and capacity for decision making, as well as
potential for inconsistencies regarding the perceived data validity.
This session seeks to discover solutions (from conceptual prototype to
operational) that intend to make uncertainty information for all
varieties of Earth science data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and
Re-usable. Following these principles, we are targeting open-source
solutions and of varying types, such as: web tools/services, documented
practices/policies, metadata standards, data recipes, software packages,
community repositories/hubs, cloud-based analytics, etc.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Primary Section/Focus Group: </b><span style="color:black">Earth and Space Science Informatics </span></p><p><u>Primary Convener</u>: <b>David Moroni, </b>Jet Propulsion Laboratory</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u>Conveners</u>: </p><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal">Hampapuram Ramapriyan,<u><span style="color:blue"> </span></u>NASA Goddard Space Flight Center </li><li class="MsoNormal">Ge Peng, NC State University and NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) </li><li class="MsoNormal">Robert R Downs, Columbia University of New York </li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">Final Abstract Submission Deadline:</span></b><span style="color:black"> 31 July, 11:59 P.M.
