NASA's Second Airborne and Field Data Workshop will be a virtual event aimed at gathering updated information from NASA's airborne and field data provider and data user communities to improve the discoverability, access, and use of these observations. The inaugural workshop, held in 2022, touched broadly on successes and areas of opportunity. This year, we will discuss recent activities in response to 2022's main findings and next steps with a focus on tools, standards, and alignment with agency goals.
This virtual event is organized by NASA's Airborne and Field Data Working Group, which includes individuals from NASA's Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project, the Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG), and NASA's Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). Learn more about NASA airborne and field data resources in the Airborne and Field Data Resource Center (AFDRC).
Code of Conduct
The workshop will operate under the NASA Airborne and Field Data Workshop Code of Conduct (PDF). Anyone who is the subject of, or witness to, any unacceptable behavior should notify a member of the Organizing Committee.
