Presentation Transcript

  1. Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment – FACE • BERAC review of DOE-funded experiments (’07) • ORNL FACE • Duke Forest FACE (FACTS I) • Rhinelander Aspen FACE (FACTS II) • Nevada Desert FACE (NDFF) • SERC* (Open Top Chamber Experiments) • Florida scrub oak • Maryland salt marsh

  2. Results of BERAC Review (cont.) • Need for data sharing and management - CDIAC • Especially relevant given decommissioning schedule • Data archive • Data accessibility for synthesis research • FACE Data Management Workshop -2008 • Data issues and concerns • Many individual researchers at each facility • Anticipated needs of data users (modelers, etc.) • Development of a centralized FACE website

  3. Website development (http://public.ornl.gov/face) • General information about FACE • Listing of Global FACE Experiments • Contact information • Site Specifics • Key publications for decommissioned sites • Site information and data (DOE) • CO2 and Weather • Plant Response • Soils • Site characterization • Publications • Links to individual websites

  4. Development of a relational database • MS SQL platform • Initial development for AmeriFlux • AmeriFlux, FACE, SPRUCE, LeafWeb… • Benefits • Single architecture for development and maintenance • Consistent variable naming convention • Transparency to users interested in synthesis

  5. Data preparation and ingest • Data challenges • Tailoring variable naming convention to fit existing AmeriFlux standards • File format variations (sites/years/data types) • Variable naming conventions that vary between sites, years, and data types • Recording interval variations • Time • Location • Limited metadata • Funding for many projects has ended • Value-added activity

  6. Data preparation and ingest (cont.) • Resolve data inconsistencies and put into a common format for ingest. * • Develop global variable list following review and formatting of all data. * • Final review of variable list to check for consistency and adherence to standards of scientific community. • Revise data as necessary. • Begin data ingest.

  7. Future plans • Value-added derivative data products • Example: gap-filled meteorological data • Data interface (ex: AmeriFlux) • Expand data holdings to include: • global FACE sites • warming and other global change experiments • Example: Hot Serial Cereal Experiment-Maricopa,AZ • Results of meta-analysis research projects • Other- TBD
