CEEES - Synthesizing atmospheric data

Generally speaking, this project aims at synthesizing data collected in experiments and observations, and possibly comparing to predictions made from numerical models. Examples include the plethroa of data collected in every hurricane that comes close to the U.S., as well as recent data observed from a site in Barbados. The project goals are loosely based on co-locating different types of data (potentially collected from different groups or devices) and using this co-location to target specific scientific questions relevant to Earth's atmosphere.

Working with data collected by different groups can be tricky to manage, and will require at least a desire (if not experience) in writing programs to bring these data together.
