"Dear Colleagues: 
 On behalf of the National Research Council, I am pleased to transmit to you the report:  The Future of Scientific Knowledge Discovery in Open Networked Environments: A National Workshop. It is available freely at: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=18258 on the websites of the National Academies Press and the Board on Research Data and Information (BRDI).
BRDI held a national workshop on this topic in Washington, DC on 10-11 March 2011 to bring together key stakeholders in this area for intensive and structured discussions. The meeting explored options to obtain and promote a better understanding of the computer-mediated scientific knowledge discovery processes and mechanisms for openly available data and information online across the scientific domains. The workshop resulted in a report that synthesizes the contributions of the experts, and presents an authoritative and high-level review of the most promising and effective research opportunities in this area.
Copies of the report may be ordered through the National Academy Press (http://www.nap.edu). Please feel free to re-disseminate this information to your contacts.
                                                                           Sincerely yours,
                                                                           Paul F. Uhlir
                                                                           Director,

Kutatási célú robotrepülőgépes adatgyűjtés viharfelhőzetben

A Tolna megyei viharkárok ráirányítják a figyelmet a robotrepülőgépes légitávérzékeléssel kapcsolatos kutatás-fejlesztésre.  A robotrepülőgép és a komplex sokérzékelős távérzékelési rendszerek viharzónák felhőzete vizsgálatára történő felhasználása hozzájárulhat a szupercellák kialakulásának jobb megértéséhez, a védekezés hatékonyságának növeléséhez. A NASA Echo rendszeréből hozzáférhetőek az ACES projekt mérési adatai is. A WGISS munkacsoportjától érkezett mai hír leírja az ACES projekt lényegét:
ALTUS Cloud Electrification Study (ACES) was Based at the Naval Air
Facility Key West in Florida. ACES researchers in August 2002 conducted overflights of thunderstorms over the southwestern corner of Florida. For the first time in NASA research an uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) named ALTUS was used to collect cloud electrification data. Carrying field mills, optical sensors, electric field sensors and other instruments, it allowed scientists to collect cloud electrification data for the first time from above the storm from it's birth through dissipation. This experiment allowed scientists to achieve the dual goals of gathering weather data safely, and testing new aircraft technology. This dataset consists of data collected from seven instruments: the Slow/Fast antenna, Electric Field Mill, Dual Optical Pulse Sensor, Searchcoil magnetometer, Accelerometers, Gerdien Conductivity Prove, and the Fluxgate Magnetometer. Data consists of  sensor reads at 50HZ throughout the flight from all 64 channels." Ha érdeklik a hozzáférés részletei, írjon: hunagi@hunagi.hu
