Earth system science researchers can submit an abstract to a session being co-chaired by NCAR’s Doug Schuster at the AMS 2025 annual meeting titled "FAIR and Open Data and Software within the Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences to Support Transparent, Reusable, and Efficient Research and Operations." The abstract submission deadline is Thursday, August 15.
The full description of the session: The need to understand linkages between climatic extremes and security outcomes such as displacement/migration, public health, and food/electricity production has never been higher. Analysis of these linkages requires integration of the Earth, social, economic, and political sciences as well as equitable access to community datasets, data proximate compute, community developed data analysis workflows and open source software tools. In this session, we invite submissions that discuss research, applications and initiatives that build upon the principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) Open Data and Software within the atmospheric and related sciences to drive new discoveries. We welcome technical, policy, and community-focused submissions on a range of topics related to facilitating transparency of science and leveraging community supported open science capabilities to drive research and operational outcomes.
Examples include:
- Research, operations and industry uses that employ a combination of public cloud compute, cloud hosted datasets such as those provided through NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination Program, and open source data analysis tools and workflows.
- Solutions for data and software discoverability, metadata creation and management, provenance tracking, and other relevant topics.
- Platforms for reproducible research and reusable tools will accelerate the analytics enterprise and build the salience, credibility, and legitimacy required to effectively inform policy. This session will highlight emerging open-science tools and platforms for weather and climate-security analysis.
The 41st Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Board on Environmental Information Processing Technologies.
