By using flexible interfaces and proto- cols, CDS ensures that an instrument’s data streams are integrated into data acquisition systems. The team also develop and maintain data services and communications infrastruc- ture to facilitate global participation in field experiments. These tools provide real-time visualization of data and allow researchers to inter- act with one another to guide the mission from anywhere in the world via an Internet-connected device.


Field Support


CDS staff get to the field before you do, and are right there with you to ensure all systems are functioning prop- erly and to troubleshoot any issues that might arise. CDS sets up a field operations center and build a sophisticated field data environ- ment, consisting of interconnected computers and networks for data acquisition, processing, and display; and link this network to the Internet so you stay in contact with the rest of the scientific community during oper- ations. All of the services—from the deployment of real-time cyber-infra- structure and mission coordination tools to systems support to in-field data management—are designed to help you obtain the best possible dataset and keep the science team productive. And the team back at EOL is monitoring your mission remotely and collaborating with the field team in real time.

Field Catalog


The field catalog is a web-based tool for collecting, organizing, and present- ing reports; quick-look data products from operational, research, and model- generated sources; and status infor- mation during the field phases of observational experiments. To get a feel for how it works, visit the archive of completed and operational field catalogs on the EOL website: http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu.


The data services staff provide sup- port for the stewardship of all data and metadata from field projects. This includes data collection, processing, quality assurance/control, archiving, long-term data stewardship, and dissemination to the scientific com- munity.
