Open Source Science to Facilitate the Use of Airborne Earth Observations
Session ID#: 161475
Session Description:
NASA is making a long-term commitment to open source science. The Open-Source Science Initiative (OSSI) is a commitment to the open sharing of software, data, and knowledge, including algorithms. NASA recently held its first Airborne and Field data workshop as an open forum to learn about the concerns of users and producers of airborne Earth observations. The workshop participants overwhelmingly stressed that the highly diverse, heterogeneous, and cross-disciplinary nature of these data provides unique challenges for those who want to use airborne Earth observations for scientific research and applications. This session will focus on open source science tools and collaborations aimed at NASA’s airborne and field data that respond to the concerns of the user community. Our aim is to use open source science to improve airborne data discovery, the analysis and integration of airborne data with related ground and satellite measurements, and to lower barriers for non-expert data users.
