Information Distribution

metadata and overview info will likely be made available via

http://nysmac.npolar.no/research/flagships/atmosphere.html

Christina Pedersen is in contact with Øystein Godøy (‘data in SIOS’)

and Ole-Jørgen (SIOS set-up director)

Ny-Ålesund Atmospheric Flagship could be an excellent first (show) case

Connection to SIOS and their work on metadata
