Survey on Data Quality in Earth System Sciences

Dear Sir or Madam,

Data management has become an integral part of Earth System Sciences (ESS) research projects, fostering efficient, collaborative, long-term data-driven research. Ensuring access to quality assured data and metadata is of paramount importance in the data life cycle as quality information is a fundamental characteristic of data and provides the basis to determine fitness for use. It plays a major role in ESS, because earth observations, e.g. physical or chemical processes, are measured once, and the measured data is reused multiple times. For this reason a meaningful description of data quality is essential.

With this survey we aim to better understand the relevance, availability, and needs of quality information on several levels of details from both a data consumer and producer perspective.

Thank you for your participation by the end of July.
