EISCAT_3D Software/Data Workshop 2021_1

The first EISCAT_3D (E3D) workshop addressing aspects of software and data took place on September 14, 9-13 CET. Topics are

experiment design, computing functions and visualization. EISCAT developers will go through the present situation of the system in order to achieve a good understanding of what the design is aiming for. An E3D Software Working Group will be defined and started. Submission of contributions from users are welcome.

The workshop went on as an online meeting for half a day.

The familiar E3D user meetings covering E3D related science and technical aspects in a broader way will of course continue to be held as well. The next user meeting is anticipated for ~Novermber 2021.

This announcement was last updated on September 20, 2021.

Registration

A registration was required by filling a Google form. The names and email addresses of registered persons are used to provide the Zoom link and other updates about the meeting by email. They will be stored as long as E3D workshops and meetings are regularly held, unless specific removals are requested.

Programme

Foci of the workshop are presentations of the E3D software and data system, a discussion of it, and establishment of a E3D Software Working Group with a broad representation of the users. Also, users are encouraged to present their own activities and results related to E3D data. Suggestions and comments can be submitted via the registration form.

The preliminary agenda is:

Demonstration of the present status of the E3D software/data system (Harri Hellgren, et al.), Abstract
Hands-on session (feasibility TBC)
Metadata and GDPR issues for EISCAT developers to keep in mind (C-F Enell, EISCAT), Abstract
Constitution of a Software Working Group
Discussion and presentations of operational software and data interface to related non-EISCAT instruments:

Ideas and software tools for EISCAT_3D data analysis (Ilkka Virtanen et al., Oulu University), Abstract

Practical Information

The workshop uses the Zoom tool licensed by the Uppsala University, The server is operated by Uppsala University which assures that no data exchange with third parties occurs. We do not intend to record the meeting but will make presentation slides publicly available also for some time after the meeting, if the presenter agrees.
