The goals of this activity are:

- Quick overview of available data for Amazonia
- Quick access to available data and data products

In the presentation of the working groups during the First LBA Open Science Meeting, held in June 27-July 2 1996, in São Jose dos Campos, SP, Brazil, it was very clear that the PRE-LBA initiative lead by CPTEC/INPE is a very important effort in data location and collection. The LBA data and information group intends to be involved in this task as much as possible, to use this experience in the design of the data management system for LBA and the primary data layers to be used commonly by several science thems.

The data group would like to contribute to the selection of the data to be put onto the CD-ROM, based on the relevance of the science agenda. All other data sets that are not included in the PRE-LBA CD-ROM will be referenced as metadata pointers in the WWW.

To locate and compile all the information on Amazonian dats sets of interest to the LBA effort, we have prepared a questionnaire that will be sent out to all scientists interested in LBA. Please, find the questionnaire and explanations right above.
