Workshop on Developing a N. American Hydrologic Data Library, Spring 2001

最后，拟议讲习班的目标是通过协调一致的多国努力，建立一个在线水文气候数据库。我们预计，将通过一些受邀者之间的远程互动，编写一份关于是否需要这样一个资料库以及可取的特点(包括数据处理算法)和能力的立场文件，并在会议前分发。为期两天的会议随后将集中讨论这份立场文件、执行和筹资战略，以及为已确定的工作的不同部分制定一个或多个社区提案。将制定一项战略，将该项目开发的技术纳入美国地质勘探局和其他机构的电子数据库，作为这些审议的一部分。研讨会的建议将在《EOS》上的一篇文章中总结。同一篇文章还将征求社区对参与的更多意见和表达兴趣。该讲习班将于2001年4月在纽约帕利塞兹地球天文台的Lamont-Doherty举行。

0110561LallThe objective of the proposed workshop is to develop an on-line hydroclimate data library through a coordinated multi-national effort. We anticipate that a position paper on the need for such a library, and desirable features (including data processing algorithms) and capabilities, will be prepared through remote interaction between some of the invitees and circulated in advance of the meeting. The two-day meeting will then focus on a discussion of this position paper, strategies for implementation and funding, and the development of one or more community proposals for different portions of the work identified. A strategy to integrate the technology developed from the project into the electronic data libraries of the USGS and other agencies will be developed as part of these deliberations. The recommendations of the workshop will be summarized in an article in EOS. The same article will also seek additional comments and expression of interest in participation from the community. This workshop will be held at the Lamont-Doherty, Earth Observatory, Palisades, New York in April 2001.
