You can’t keep running in here and demanding data every two years Source: American Scientist,Vol 886 p 525.
Next steps (1) • SAFARI 2000 Investigators need to provide data files and documentation and assist in registering their data sets in Mercury • For list of data sets compiled this week • Regional investigators who initiated their registration at Siavonga • Contributors to the four special issues (Global Change Biology, JGR-Atmos, IJRS, Boundary Layer Met) • Contributors to this SAFARI 2000 Synthesis Workshop • Data sets have to be thoroughly documented (understandable 20 years from now) • Be responsive to the requests for information from the Data Team
Next Steps (2) • Let the data team know of any new data sets that will be completed by April 2003 • What are the remaining data needs? What can the data team provide? • Regional rainfall anomalies (past 5 to 10 years; vector) • Extend Daily Meteorology data 2000-2002 (NCDC Station Data) • Soil texture data for southern Africa (SOTER) • PDF copies of papers for S2K use • What else? • By June 30, 2003, all S2K investigators need to make their data available to the public
Proposal:CD for the Synthesis Book • Summary information • Synthesis level: Intermediate between tables in chapters and data files in the archive • Site information, ecophysiology of shrubs, trees, and grasses • Appended and in the CD • Selected Aerial photographs, digital video clips, etc. • Maps and Graphs (static and dynamic) • Soils, MODIS Products (atmosphere and land products), functional landscape map
