Abstract

A data management system has been developed for the Connecticut State University (CSU) Lidar Collaboratory to facilitate user authentication, scheduling of remote lidar instrumentation control sessions, storage and retrieval of lidar datasets and generation of new data products. In addition to providing for efficient archival and retrieval of lidar data products, a major design goal of the data management system is to support collaborative, multidisciplinary, atmospheric sciences research projects. In this paper, we describe the framework of the CSU Lidar Collaboratory data management system and how the system interacts with the data acquisition and data analysis software.
