Dear Colleagues,
(Sorry if you receive multiple postings)

We are pleased to announce Session IN019 titled Earth System Data Records (ESDR's), Essential Uncertainty Information, and Its Representation Metadata and Standards at the 2012 Fall American Geophysical Union meeting on 3-7 December 2012 in San Francisco, California.

Please consider submitting an abstract for this Earth and Space Science Informatics session. This session's purpose is to exchange of ideas on developing uncertainty estimates for ESDR's and representing them using standard metadata constructs to facilitate their use. This discussion will also benefit from the ESDR users' expression of their needs for error and uncertainty information in order to make these records useful and usable.
AGU 2012 Meeting information is available at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/.

Please note - the deadline for abstracts is 8 August 2012.

Session IN019: Earth System Data Records, Essential Uncertainty Information, and Its Representation Metadata and Standards: We now have a long history of collecting data from spaceborne instruments and in situ data relevant to modeling long-term phenomena such as global climate change. While measurements may be made from multiple instruments over time, it is essential to build long time series of consistently calibrated, computed and validated data, called ESDRs. Information on uncertainty is essential for users to know utility and limitations of ESDRs. This interdisciplinary session encourages exchange of ideas on developing uncertainty estimates for ESDR's and representing them using standard metadata constructs to facilitate their use.

We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for considering this opportunity to share your ideas.  Please forgive us if you receive multiple postings as we are distributing this announcement broadly to reach as many interested individuals as possible.

Regards,
Session Conveners:
H. K. "Rama" Ramapriyan (Rama.Ramapriyan at nasa.gov)
Martha Maiden (Martha.E.Maiden at nasa.gov)
Andrew Mitchell (Andrew.E.Mitchell at nasa.gov)
