  1. IceBridge Science Team Meeting: NSIDC Activities Marilyn Kaminski January 20, 2011

  2. NSIDC IceBridge Data Management Began work March 2010, with tasks broadly defined as: • Data brokering • Data ingest/archive: • Ongoing flight campaigns • Pre-IceBridge data • Tools & services • Value-added products Archive all IceBridge data; only broker related data (e.g. atmospheric chemistry) Also archive flight reports; Level 0 data; ancillary data; broad scope of pre-IceBridge data Better-defined portal to include map-based access using geometry of flight lines More clarity on what will be useful to community, and what is being developed elsewhere

  3. NSIDC IceBridge Data Web Site

  4. Progress/Milestones: Data Ingest • Team focused on release of ‘09 Greenland campaign data as highest priority in 2010 • Created “FastTrack” process: ingest of data as-is for ftp download, with minimal documentation • Met 8/15 deadline for all data that were delivered to us (12 data sets) • Data is discoverable through NSIDC catalog, GCMD, ECHO; advertised through RSS feeds and Data News page • Established an efficient process for future ingest cycles of data • Many lessons learned in Greenland ‘09 ingest; process is becoming smoother over time • Instrument teams have been very supportive as we worked through details

  5. Status: Data Availability

  6. User Metrics: Registered Users *”Distinct Users” = distinct per product, so total number of users is likely less

  7. User Metrics: IceBridge Web Visits (2010)

  8. User Metrics: IceBridge Web Navigation (2010)

  9. Progress/Milestones: Active Work • Now putting more focus on other tasks … • Engineering for robust archive and full-functionality access by users • Tools & services • Value-added products • Outreach (AGU, CryoSat, EGU, …) • … while we continue ingest cycles • Antarctica ‘10 campaign • Remaining ’09, Gr ‘10 campaign data • Other pre-IceBridge data sets

  10. Status: Tools and Services • Portal Development • Story Maps and strawman interface derived from user model • Working on architecture and database issues as groundwork for prototypes and ongoing iterative releases • Planning iterative reviews with Science Working Group • Tools page for user access to file readers and other useful software code (we currently provide ATM readers; community is welcome to send us code)

  11. Status: Value-Added Products • Take it away, Ted!
