Breakouts Areas - Day 2

Networks -- Data sharing -- Software

Focus:  Data flow for rtGNSS TEWS

Networks

• What networks should we seek international cooperation?
  • Governmental, private, research non-real-time continuous
  • Strategy to engage network operators
• Bandwidth issues/challenges

Data sharing/distribution

• Early warning vs. scientific research requirements
• How to distribute the data – regional hubs vs international nodes (i.e. UNAVCO or NASA’s CDDIS)
  • Redundancy strategy for TEW
• Real-time streaming needs / protocols / limitations
• Archiving issues – response vs scientific research vs agreements

Software  -- rtGNSS to Operational Tsunami Agencies

• GNSS processing approaches
• Modeling / product development/ standards
• APIs
