Quantitative Data

The GTN-P Data Management System is designed to handle the complete data work flow on boreholes, active layer monitoring sites and related variables. Those are Essential Climate variables and the projected climate change will increase the need for their exploitation and integration.
Presented in this page, is the complete GTN-P data work flow from concept to standardization and submission, from data extraction, analysis and interoperability.

	Data collection Process of gathering and measuring information on targeted variables in an established systematic fashion, which then enables one to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes.
	Data extraction Act or process of retrieving data out of data sources for further data processing or data storage (data migration)
	Data Analysis Process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision-making.
	Statistics Study of the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.
	Data Integration Involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data.
