<b>Tending the Treasure Trove:<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Advancing Stewardship for Non-Satellite Earth Observations<o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">
While satellite platforms enable critical operational, research, and discipline-bridging Earth observations, non-satellite platforms have also proven instrumental in each of these areas.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>In fact, many satellite-borne instruments begin development as ground- and aircraft-based analogs, and essential satellite calibration/validation work relies on observations collected by sensors on non-satellite platforms.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Here, we use the terms non-satellite, or “suborbital” platforms to include anything not in space that is used for hosting instruments - this includes aircraft, ships/vessels, balloons, buoys, vehicles, and stationary sites.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Data obtained from instruments on these platforms are typically used initially for a specific, relatively focused purpose, whether operational like weather forecasting and environmental monitoring, or for research in a variety of disciplines, including
physical process studies, validation of satellite observations and algorithms, assessment of numerical model output, and more.<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">
The heterogeneity of collections of non-satellite observations is as vast as the science applications they serve: including instrument and platform types, spatiotemporal resolutions, and data formats.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>This complexity creates significant challenges for the stewardship of these important data to ensure they are discoverable and usable by all.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Agencies are addressing these challenges in different ways.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Publicly funded agencies have a responsibility to ensure access to data for emerging science questions and applications perhaps not envisioned or even possible at the time of data collection.
<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">
In this session, contributions are welcomed covering all aspects of non-satellite data stewardship, including data discovery, access, metadata, archival, data formats and format transformations (physical to digital and more), care of historical data, transitioning
to cloud optimization, open science, and data user perspectives on impediments to finding, accessing, and working with these observations.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>The goal of the session is to advance inner- and cross-agency discussions and practices to protect and enhance the scientific and economic returns on the investment made in collecting these unique and valuable observations.<o:p> </o:p></p>
