OD43A:
Data Rescue and Synthesis for Climate and Environmental Science II


Session ID#: 37001

Session Description:
The focus of this session is to discuss how researchers synthesize long-term environmental data from repositories and archives to develop new products using a variety of quality control techniques. The desired outcome from this session is to improve integration of diverse data holdings that can then spur research that addresses innovative science and provides decision makers with actionable information. Integrative data analyses that incorporate multidisciplinary and “Big Data” approaches are a powerful way to obtain insights beyond the data’s original collection purpose. A central use case involves the long-term subsurface ocean temperature and salinity observational datasets that are essential to the understanding of variability and change in the Earth's energy and water cycle, to discriminate between natural and anthropogenic drivers, and to predict future changes. Millions of ocean subsurface observations have been collected by different investigators and institutions, with a variety of quality standards. An important aspect of putting our current environment in perspective is identifying and restoring to general use these historic observations in order to extend our understanding environmental change as far back in time as possible. Data rescue is not only creating and improving access to historical data but also assuring the quality of those data.
