BAMEX Field Catalog Statistics• Status Reports and Operations Summaries
(600+ documents)
• Mission Related Reports and Products(2700+ documents)
•NOAA P-3, NRL P-3, Learjet, GBOS
• Near Real-Time Operational Image Products•Satellite, Surface, Upper Air, Forecast and Model
•Nearly 200,000 files/images using 20 gigabytes
• Report Authoring and Submission Tools
• Product Ingest Tools: upload forms, email and ftp
submissions, automated web downloading
• Mirror Sites in Boulder, CO, with near real-time synchronization
•Links to other project related real-time data sources
JOSS Data Management Philosophy
• Early involvement in project planning• Involvement with PIs to develop data
management strategy (e.g., plan, policy, format, special collection and processing)
• Consistent implementation of strategy for lifetime of project and beyond
• Reliable and efficient archive and distribution system
• Easy and efficient access to datasets by broader community including educators and students
JOSS DATA SERVICES
• Data Questionnaire• Data Management Plan• Real-time Data Ingest• Field Operations Catalog• Data Processing• Interactive Data Archive and Distribution (CODIAC)• Special Media Products and Services
Develop Data Management Plan• Data Policy, Protocol, Strategy and Timing• Development of Value-added Datasets• Compile Following Project Data Issues
Data Types• Sources (Operational, Research)• Interdisciplinary• Episodic (IOP) vs. longer term• Historical, Climatological
Data Formats and Documentation•Investigator Needs•Compatibility; Ease of Use•Intercomparison Requirements•Metadata Content

Project Data Management Considerations
Data Management Considerations (Continued)
Data Collection
• Determine Requirements (Operational vs. Research)• Metadata MUST accompany data• Set-up access protocol
Real-time Data Requirements• Calibration, In-field Intercomparisons, Operations• Real-time Catalog, Documentation
Data Quality Control• Who? Where? When?• Coordination of data processing• Utilization and development of analysis tools• Investigator Responsibilities
13
Data Archival• Centralized vs. Decentralized• On-line vs. Off-line• Data Integration (CD Preparation)• Coordination with Other Programs• International Data Centers and Exchange
Data Management Considerations (continued)
Data Distribution• Ease of Data access• Metadata and Inventories (including browse products)• Restricted vs. Open • Preliminary vs. Final Datasets• Customized Data Requests
Coordination with Other Programs• Data Exchange and Analysis Tools• Standardized Formats• Interoperability with other Data Centers 14
