TOAR-II Data User Workshop (on-site event)

23 Jun 2022, 12:00 → 24 Jun 2022, 15:00 Europe/Berlin

Rotunda (Forschungszentrum Jülich, JSC)

The TOAR data user workshop shall introduce the TOAR community to the new TOAR database and the tools for accessing and analysing TOAR data. The goal is to enable the TOAR community to perform their analyses for the Community Special Issue papers and start planning the analyses for the assessment report.

The workshop will feature two parts. In the first part we will give information and training on the new database, data extraction and analysis tools. This will be done through a series of lectures with Q&A sessions. The lectures will only be given once during the on-site meeting and we expect participants of the online meetings to prepare themselves by watching the recordings of these lectures.

In the second part of the workshop (the only part of the online events) we will work together with you in a hackathon-like hands-on format to develop some prototype analysis workflows for TOAR. To prepare for this, we would like to ask you to provide us with a description of the data analysis you plan.
