Executive editor
The acquisition and proliferation of large datasets presents one of the greatest opportunities in environmental science in recent years, particularly with the application of open data principles in dissemination. However, the effective utilisation of these data poses new, ever greater technical and organisational challenges. This article discusses the methods and benefits of the application of the European ENVRI infrastructure to atmospheric science in programmes such as ACTRIS, IAGOS and ICOS, in particular through the application of FAIR principles, and how this will help to push back the frontiers of atmospheric science.
Short summary
Easy and fast access to long-term and high-quality observational data is recognised as fundamental to environmental research and the development of climate forecasting and assessment services. We discuss the potential new directions in atmospheric sciences offered by the atmosphere-centric European research infrastructures ACTRIS, IAGOS, and ICOS, building on their capabilities for standardised provision of data through open access combined with tools and methods of data-intensive science.
