Friday Afternoon

1:30-3:00:  Workshop Wrap Up (FL2 Auditorium) (LE, CW, JO)

                   Summaries

                   Guidance to upcoming campaigns (FIREX, WE-CAN, FIREChem) on gaps in knowledge, plume sampling

                   Future work

                   What tools do we still need? What would make data mining older datasets easier?

                   What does the community want?

                   What are we missing in terms of older datasets?

                   Moving forward - can we mine existing datasets? What is helpful? What do we still need?

                   Products? Papers?

                   What can we do to help facilitate work, proposals, collaborations moving forward?

 3:00 Adjourn

                   Optional: Tour NCAR, side meetings with NCAR people, UCAR/NCAR reception at Center Green
