[Im4ca-wp1.beta] IM4CA WP1 Romania campaign data and metadata format for ICOS Carbon Portal

[Sara.Defratyka]

Dear all, 



As you may know, Milestone 1.1 (First EU Campaigns Datasets Published) is due one month after the Romania campaign . To facilitate progress on this task, I propose that we start working on the data and metadata format now, with the goal of finalizing the template before the campaign. This should help streamline the data submission process to the ICOS Carbon Portal (ICOS CP) after the campaign. 



I have already contacted ICOS CP and obtained two example reports as good practice references. You can find these attached, along with the IM4CA Data Management Plan and Deliverable 1.1 , which can serve as a starting point for data description in Milestone 1.1 . These documents are also available on the shared drive of WP1 in the "Milestones" folder. 



The aim is to create a template that is as user-friendly as possible for us while ensuring it meets ICOS CP’s requirements. To begin, I propose forming a small working group with one representative per measurement technique (car, drone, aircraft, stationary EM27, stationary CRDS). Over time, we may need to expand the group—for example, to include one representative per institution —but we’ll assess this as we progress. 



Once we make significant progress within this small group (with support from ICOS CP ), I will update the rest of WP1 to keep everyone informed while minimizing unnecessary emails and meetings. 



If you are interested in joining this working group, please reply to this email. I understand that everyone is very busy, so I will keep the workload on this part of the Romania campaign as light as possible. 



Best, 

Sara
