  3. FCWG Focus The Field Campaigns Working Group has focused on two areas: 1. Suggest approaches to coordinate field activities of ongoing, primarily individual research studies sponsored by TE. 2. Support the review of field campaign scoping-studies

  4. Field Campaigns What are the advantages of large field campaigns? How can we enhance those virtues within the framework of existing PI lead field work? • Multiple measurements co-located in space and time - increasing the number of synergistic studies • Fosters cross-disciplinary collaborations • Helps student training and professional development

  5. Recommendations Develop ways to notify the community of upcoming field work by TE funded investigators with the thought that other teams could join in - A dating service for investigators - To be successful may need staff support to contact PIs and organize a database - May require incentives to collaboration - Should also encourage collaborations between field studies and modelers at an early stage - If successful, may want to approach other agencies about joining in - International collaborations are important and should be encouraged

  6. Recommendations Support collaborations for field studies - Small grants for students who are not part of the organizing group to take part in existing field campaigns - Creation of Research Coordination Networks (RCN) where groups of investigators are supported to communicate and coordinate their research, training and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, geographic and international boundaries. - Small grants for students to present field work results at workshops and meetings. Encourage longer-term studies at field sites - develop longer time series - blend in new and/or improved measurements

  7. Recommendations Data archival and sharing of those data are critically important - A staff position at a data center who would proactively work with investigators to help organize and q/a their data and prepare documentation for archive - Provide satellite data extractions in text form (like the existing MODIS cut-outs) for other satellite data, such as AVHRR and Landsat - Also gridded met data (daymet) - model outputs (and inputs) - accelerate access to new satellite products - We support the effort to acquire commercial high-spatial resolution data

  8. Field Campaigns Working Group We recommend continuation of the FCWG to support the review of the second field campaign scoping-study
