In addition future users should have access to User group notes, MST conference
proceedings and peer reviewed literature published by previous data users.
MST Scenario2 has a higher level preservation objective and can be considered
an extension of scenario 1 as the AIP information content is simply extended. The
significance of this is that future data users will have access to important information
which will help in the studying the following types of phenomena captured within
the data
•
Precipitation
•
Convection
•
Gravity Waves
•
Rossby Waves
•
Mesoscale and Microscale Structures
•
Fallstreak Clouds
•
Ozone Layering
Implementation points based on strategies for scenario1
MST1.7 We reviewed bibliography contained by website and quality of refer-
ences. Carried out an investigation and review of technical reports which are used
heavily at STFC but have not been generated here. Identify clear cases of reports
which have correctly cited but have not need been deposited anywhere as they have
no natural home and digitise for inclusion within the AIP. The website addition-
ally contains a bibliographic record of publications resulting from use of the data.
This record contains good quality citations but there would be concerns regarding
permanent access to some of these materials, consider the two examples below
W. Jones and S. P. Kingsley. MST radar observations of meteors. In Proceedings
of the Wagstaff (USA) Conference on Astroids, Comets and Meteors. Lunar and
Planetary Institute (NASA Houston), July 1991
S. P. Kingsley. Radio-astronomical methods of measuring the MST radar
antenna. Technical report to MST radar user community, 1989.
Neither of these two items is current held by either The British Library
http://
www.bl.uk/
or The Library of Congress
http://catalog.loc.gov/
based on searches
of their catalogues. Nor do they in exist in the local STFC institutional repository
http://epubs.cclrc.ac.uk/
. The preservation strategy to deal with this bibliography
was to create MARC
http://www.loc.gov/marc/ http://www.dcc.ac.uk/diffuse/?s=36
records in XML format for items held by the British Library and to begin the process
of obtaining copies of the other items from the current community and digitise them
in PDF format for direct inclusion within the AIP.
