Title: 
Community Forum on Snow and Ice Climate Data Records
Date/Time: 
17 March 2010 - 12:45pm - 2:15pm
Contact:

Meeting Type: 
Open
Description: 

A community forum on climate data records (CDR) for snow and ice properties is being held as a side meeting at the State of the Arctic Conference. The NOAA Scientific Data Stewardship program is supporting the development of CDRs for the cryosphere, including sea ice concentration, motion, and age, snow cover/extent, and ice/snow surface temperature and albedo. The cryosphere product development team for this project will coordinate the generation, validation, and archival of fundamental and thematic snow and ice climate data records, building on existing products and efforts as appropriate. In this forum, the development approach for cryosphere CDRs will be presented. Input from the scientific community is solicited. The meeting is open to the public.

The meeting will be held during the lunch break on Wednesday, March 17 at the State of the Arctic venue, the Hyatt Regency Miami. It will open with an introduction describing the purpose and intended outcome of the forum. Members of the cryosphere product development team will then give short presentations describing the proposed snow and ice products, including the methods used in their development. Each presentation will be followed by an open discussion on the algorithms used, validation, and other issues that are product-specific. Another discussion period will follow the product presentations to allow for additional community feedback.
