• Offer Standardized Approaches
• Make Data and Algorithms Freely Available to Everyone
• Provide Forums/Workshops to Focus on Uncertainty
• Emphasize this is Papers/Classes/Labs
• Help Educate Policy Makers
Propagation of Uncertainty
Data Products at a SiteContinental Scale
Data Products
• Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guidance Notes

Summary
• Uncertainty is (finally) gaining attention as an important part of informing environmental data
• Standards will be necessary to compare uncertainty between different network measurements and continental scale estimates
• Transparency and open communication are essential for effective understanding of uncertainty
• Advocacy at the Policy Maker level will advance the impact of uncertainty estimates
