- Description
- In September and October 2007 the BADC carried out
an online survey to try
and find out more about how the BADC user
community found the present
services as well as attempt to gather
information about the user community’s
skills and requirements.
The information obtained from the survey should
provide a useful
point of reference for the BADC to help target its
development
and to ensure that it remains focused on providing a quality
service to the UK atmospheric research community. In short to meet
the
BADC mission statement:
The British Atmospheric Data Centre
(BADC) is the Natural Environment Research
Council's (NERC)
Designated Data Centre for the Atmospheric Sciences. The role of
the BADC is to assist UK atmospheric researchers to locate, access
and interpret
atmospheric data and to ensure the long-term
integrity of atmospheric data produced
by NERC projects.
Prior
to the Survey only circumstantial evidence was available on user
experience and thus the BADC felt there was a need to sound the
user
community in a more formal manner.
The aim of the 2007
BADC User survey was three fold:
1) To determine the skills base
of the BADC user community.
2) To determine the present
experience of the BADC user community of
its datasets and
supporting services.
3) To identify those areas where the BADC
should improve, those areas
where the BADC is doing well and
those areas where the BADC could
explore/develop.
