COOPEUS roadmap process Sanna Sorvari, Finnish Meteorological Institute

Motivation Roadmap process will define common objectives and actions for future collaboration Enhance our understanding and clarifies our scope enhances the communication (coherent, common message to users and funding bodies) Helps on targeting the efforts and work COOPEUS funders (EC & NSF) requested a roadmap from the community

COOPEUS Strategy and roadmap Evaluation Actions Vision Introduction/ starting point Roadmap part Strategic part What needs to be done? Where do we want to be? Where are we now? Environmental research infrastructures are meant to operate long term – thus long term plans and vision is needed Timeframe: 10 years 05/12/2018

Evaluation: landscape analysis We agreed to perform a landscape analysis both in EU and US Starting point: Domain-based (atmospheric, marine, solid Earth, ecosystem) > integrated picture Ari & Lindsay Why to do this? To answer following questions: 1. Is the landscape sufficient enough? Are there gaps? 2. What is the sustainability of the RIs in the landscape? 3. Are the services provided by the RIs sufficient for the users to answer the environmental challenges and societal needs?

COOPEUS Mission To facilitate the accessibility of data from research infrastructures to advance our understanding across Earth systems through an international community-driven effort, by: Engaging user communities; Addressing changing societal and scientific needs; Removing technical, scientific, cultural and geopolitical barriers for data use; and Promoting the flow, integrity and preservation of information.

Aim of this work:   We are working together to get efficient cross-Atlantic (and later hopefully global) collaboration of environmental research infrastructures. We are well aware of several issues, which are not currently well coordinated and interoperable. Based on this, we need now to figure out what are The main realistic short and long term goals we are envisioning; What are the benefits to the scientific community and to the society from this; and What are the processes and actions needed to achieve these goals. As COOPEUS is a data-oriented project we need to concentrate on the data products. This means in practice that no direct hardware development or user training can be included, but e.g. sensor level data handling routines are already covered in this context. Practical guidance The session in San Francisco is SHORT, so please work beforehand to come up with thought-out, practical, realistic goals and suggested actions. We will naturally discuss more during the workshop, but the time for very open blue-sky discussion is very limited. You should determine your priorities through discussions within your RI, user groups and the COOPEUS cross-Atlantic partner. The aim is to give a set of clear, science user or RI benefitting, changes we wish to achieve within the next years (with perspective of 20 years). For each goal (see below for suggestions) consider the following issues: (empty template in the end of the document)

Access policies for data defining policies when and who should have data access developing common shared data access models Common authorization routines (or services) Similar (or same) computer-readable access licenses   Data identification Common methods and standards for identifying datasets (granularity) Identifying data versions and subsets of data (reproducibility/traceability) Common standards of data publication (when and which phase, data journals?) Bibliometric indicators – authorship, credit, indicators for RI success Data documentation Metadata harmonization Terminology integration Workflow documentation methods and standards – model of measurement-data production Minimum requirements Semantic linking of datasets Data conversion and processing documentation Data processing standardization (related to workflows) 

Data integrity Data checksums, versioning strategies, long-term archiving Documentation of responsibilities Common minimum standards for integrity checking and documentation Quality control methods during data acquisition (common calibration methods/ intercalibrations / QA documentation) Standardized error estimation methods   Near Real Time products Common data acquisition methods Publishing issues of NRT data (responsibilities, access limitations) Low level on-line data inversion/ analysis collaboration Correlated data products development Methods and algorithmic development Standardization of types, and routines Access formalization – handling different license datasets Interoperability of low level datasets Other areas not currently covered under COOPEUS but essential to achieving the COOPEUS mission for your RI.

Issues related to technical perspective Proposed topics for discussion: Joint technical development /instrumentation and methods Joint novel sensor/instrument development (stimulating the innovations and markets) Measurement methodology Co-location RI counter parts (instrument testing, compaigns, site set-up, netwrok design,...) Cross-domain collaboration (joint sites, ICOS-ANAEE- ACTRIS sites, marine platforms with atmospheric measurements,..) International planning of RI networks and collaboration, co-locations, ... Physical access management Mechanisms to support and manage transatlantic access to the RIs,...

Questions to answer For each topic: Proposed topics for discussion: Joint technical development /instrumentation and methods Co-location Physical access management Questions to answer For each topic: What is your vision for the future? What do you wish to have in 10yrs? Are there “low-hanging-fruits” for rapid demonstration? What would be the pathways to these goals? What could be the titles for such projects? Who would be needed as partners? When they should be timed? How large they should be? What kind of resources are needed? Are current instruments good for such activities?
