Partners within the EarthCube community: UNAVCO (Geodesy), IRIS (Seismic, Oceans), CUAHSI (Hydrology), University of San Diego (Computer Science), University of Texas at Arlington (Urban Water).

  • UNAVCO, CUAHSI and IRIS: connect CHORDS streams to large and established archive systems and to disseminate new real-time data streams among their broad community of users
  • University of San Diego: register the new real-time data streams and sensors among the broader EarthCube community.
  • University of Texas at Arlington: provide critical scientific guidance as to the enhancements to CHORDS as well as in defining hydrology sensor needs and the most critical products from the voluminous data streams supplied by the CASA radar network.
  • XDOMES (PI, Frederick): creating a SensorML registry
