摘要 NOAA 气候数据记录 (CDR) 计划的主要目标是持续生成描述全球大气、海洋和陆地表面的高质量、数十年时间序列数据，这些数据可用于做出明智的决策。与传统的三年研究计划的短期努力相比，维持 CDR 的长期计划面临着巨大的挑战。 CDR 的持续生成需要气候界、数据管理以及软件开发和维护方面的专家之间的协作。它还通过科学应用和相关用户对生成的 CDR 的可访问性和可用性的反馈来提供信息。 CDR 计划开发了一种评估 CDR 在数据管理、软件和用户应用程序方面成熟度的指标，并将其应用于 30 多个 CDR。过去 7 年吸取的主要教训是，严格的团队数据管理方法（在每一步都聘请主题专家）至关重要......
AbstractThe key objective of the NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) program is the sustained production of high-quality, multidecadal time series data describing the global atmosphere, oceans, and land surface that can be used for informed decision-making. The challenges of a long-term program of sustaining CDRs, as contrasted with short-term efforts of traditional 3-yr research programs, are substantial. The sustained production of CDRs requires collaboration between experts in the climate community, data management, and software development and maintenance. It is also informed by scientific application and associated user feedback on the accessibility and usability of the produced CDRs. The CDR program has developed a metric for assessing the maturity of CDRs with respect to data management, software, and user application and applied it to over 30 CDRs. The main lesson learned over the past 7 years is that a rigorous team approach to data management, employing subject matter experts at every step, is critic...
