Terra@20: Data System Evolution to Advance Climate Research
Session ID#: 76807
Session Description:
On December 19, 1999, NASA launched the Terra spacecraft, a unique mission to explore the connections between Earth’s atmosphere, land, snow and ice, ocean and energy balance to understand Earth’s climate and climate change. No other Earth science mission has been as productive as Terra; its exponential increase in data distribution has driven many changes in science data systems. This session will address the 20 years of advances in algorithm and data production, data maturity and quality, and data discovery and access. Special interest topics include improvements in access to Terra data that subsequently resulted in advancing climate research and applications which would not have been achieved otherwise. The convening committee will request oral presentations representing data management from each of the five instruments on Terra. We will also seek presentations from industry and academia to discuss how data management has changed and best practices.
