Data Terrestrial Subgroup

Group description

The Data Terrestrial Subgroup was formed to address the long-term goal identified at the CSDMS 2.0 meeting of comparing models and data.

Tasks include development of CSDMS Datasets for model testing, validation, etc., organized by research area, and listed under two categories:

  1. Existing data, properly formatted and documented; and
  2. Desired data critical for CSDMS objectives, flagging up data products that should be obtained (either newly measured or distilled from existing field/lab datasets).

Includes populating CSDMS web site with data from natural or anthropogenic experiments in a common, consistent format.

Tasks

  1. Identify all interested members
  2. Identify dataset/model pairs for further integration
