Abstract: Data is an essential element of any organization’s mission. NOAA scientists collect significant volumes of data to meet mission requirements. According to the NOAA Environmental Data Management Framework, NOAA data should be fully and openly available to all users, preserved for long-term use, well documented and of known quality, and easy to use. Data sharing begins with preparation of a Data Management Plan (DMP) which outlines how data are handled during and after collection. Research transitions and data management can advance together based on Readiness Level maturity. This Fireside Chat will investigate how data management and transitions of innovative technologies go hand in hand to enable NOAA to meet mission needs.
