User Working Group (UWG)


The NASA Earth Sciences Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project has directed each Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) to establish and sponsor a User Working Group (UWG).

The PO.DAAC UWG represents the interests of NASA's physical oceanography user community by providing recommendations covering a broad range of topics related to the PO.DAAC systems, services, and capabilities. The UWG typically provides advice on the following topics

  • Prioritization and pursuit of new data holdings
  • Mechanisms to enhance user access to data
  • Levels of support provided by the PO.DAAC to the user community
  • Research and development in support of product prototyping and generation
  • Science requirements and capabilities
