ASDC Request for New GCMD Project Keywords

[ASDC - mebuzano]

Hello,

The ASDC would like to request the following be added as project keywords.

Short Name: ARCSIX
Long Name: Arctic Radiation-Cloud-Aerosol-Surface Interaction Experiment
Documentation: https://espo.nasa.gov/arcsix

This keyword request comes from a data accession request that was approved for archival at the ASDC.
Short Name: Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor Harmonization
Long Name: Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor Harmonization Database
Description provided by the science team: We aim to harmonize low-cost air quality sensor networks by amalgamating measurements from a multitude of networks into one open access database. A key feature will be a tier system in which we critically review each sensor network by their calibration efforts and subsequent data quality. For instance, networks which calibrate each sensor individually would likely rank highest, followed by networks which calibrate clusters of sensors together, use a regional calibration scheme, a national or global calibration scheme, and lastly, those which do not calibrate or field normalize their sensors. Frequency of calibration will also be factored into this ranking system, as low- cost sensors are known to drift over time and may perform differently under changing environmental conditions and seasonality. Our accessible and inclusive open science platform will allow users to search based on calibration criteria in addition to ___location, date range, and pollutant of interest. Once our data is transformed and ranked, we will also integrate data near ground-based remote sensing instruments to foster comparison and analyses between surface and column measurements, which is of great interest to stakeholders in remote sensing and modeling alike within atmospheric science.

If there are any issues or questions please let me know!

@ASDC - mebuzano Thank you for your keyword request. We will review it and let you know when it is complete.

@ASDC - mebuzano Just to clarify, 'Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor Harmonization' should also be project? Please also consider if it's possible to have a shorter name for this project if this is indeed a project.
Thank You.

Hi Tyler - yes, it should also be a project. I'll need to chat with the science team to see if they a shorter name they prefer. I'll get back to you ASAP!
