[Esip-agclimate] Session title etc. for ESIP Summer Meeting

[Bill Teng]

Hi, All:

I'm still pondering the title for our session (to be proposed) for the 
Summer meeting. We'd discussed, in our telecons, using the upcoming 
meeting to drill down and identify specifically the one or two (or more) 
things we could do with LTAR that would be of mutual of interest and 
benefit. Also, after our March telecon, Brian Wee helped link up the 
USDA Regional Climate Hub (HQ'ed in Colorado) and our Cluster. The email 
thread eventually circled back to Bill Hohenstein of the USDA CCPO, who 
had given one of the two presentation at our session at the 2013 Chapel 
Hill meeting. I've on my list to contact Bill H., along with Mark 
Walbridge, and Simon Liu as possible invited speakers for our summer 
session (as we've discussed). Meanwhile, the White House just announced 
yesterday the Climate Data Initiative. So, I'm trying to figure out how 
to, in some way, link everything together. Or, perhaps, that would be 
too ambitious, and we should stick to just the LTAR. Here's a possible 
title:

"Linking USDA-LTAR with ESIP, in the framework of the new Climate Data 
Initiative"

Please share any thoughts on all this and your suggestions for the 
title. I'd like to submit our proposed session soon. Thanks!

Bill
