Environmental Data User Support with Cloud-Based User Services

Session ID#: 159166

Session Description:
Environmental data, from historical observations to upcoming missions and field campaigns, is becoming increasingly more accessible in the cloud. Cloud access supports the broader community goal of open science as data are more readily accessible and can be accessed across organizations. Operating within the cloud still primarily supports experienced users and is difficult for new users to navigate. This session encourages submissions that address the challenges faced by new users to systems and tools that have been created to enhance the user experience with these data whether for data archival, discovery, visualization, or analysis. The presented work may include, but is not limited to: data recipes, data and information curation efforts, data processing (transformation/subsetting) and analysis tools/APIs, science notebooks, structured document database development, data discovery tools, and software tips among developers.
Index Terms:

1916 Data and information discovery [INFORMATICS]
1976 Software tools and services [INFORMATICS]
1994 Visualization and portrayal [INFORMATICS]
