## In Summary:

- Daily operations meeting (10 to 15 minutes duration with AIRS Data Team (Steve Friedman, Evan Manning) has proved extremely beneficial
- Ingest of new Science Software (PGEs) have been integrated and tested in a timely fashion in support of performing better science
- Data production has been reliable and stable
- Ingest issues resolved: GBAD data ingested routinely
- The AIRS data has been safely archived
- Data Pool is now being populated by AIRS data
- Data Support Team lead by Dr. Jianchun Qin (JCQ) and User Support Team lead by Ms. Leena Snoddy in place and (almost) ready for First Public Release of AIRS data

## Preparing for AIRS Data Public Release:

- (Almost) Ready for First Public Release of AIRS data
- GES DAAC Atmospheric Dynamics Data Support Team (ADDST) has compiled a list of actions to be worked off with the AIRS Data Team (Steve Friedman, Evan Manning) in preparation for first data public release
- ADDST meets 2 to 3 times weekly - Includes data specialists, webmaster, user services personnel, software engineers
- ADDST telecons weekly with AIRS Data Team to coordinate data release announcements, documentation, data access, and disclaimers
- All individuals are on top of what is left to be done, and we should be ready for the first public release announcement in March

## AIRS Data Public Release Actions Being Coordinated with 

**AIRS Team:**
- 1. How does AIRS/DAAC wish to handle public release announcement, etc.?
- 	*AIRS will take the lead in formulating a public announcement.  GES DAAC to be part of the coordination so to ensure a one voice announcement.  *
- 2. Need data dates to be released (starting date of data); Which products are to be released?
- 	*6 Products will be release:  4 L1B's plus 2 QA products.  Data will be released starting at the current data date being processed on release day. *
- 3. Product documentation for Collection 2 data needed.
*	**AIRS to provide product documentation; GES DAAC to provide Readme files for AIRS review*
- 4. Produce disclaimer text regarding the use of Summary Browse and scientific quality expectations of released data
- 	*GES DAAC to write and provide Summary Browse disclaimer for review; AIRS to provide disclaimer text that will describe the quality of the products being released*
- 5. Determine a fair and acceptable amount of space reserved on Data Pool for AIRS
- 	*4 TB on the GES DAAC Data Pool will be reserved for AIRS data products (up from 1 TB), equivalent to approximately 120 days of AIRS Level 1B data*
- 6.  Would GES DAAC be willing to make AIRS Matlab tools available to DAAC AIRS users?
- 	*GES DAAC reviewed the tools and is looking into how to make them available*
