Current State

All users can currently do on

ur site is download

Users are referred to Earthdata to subset, reformat or reproject. Users struggle with the terms used in the “Get Data” box

Research Process

 Blink performed initial research

 Ten scientist participants with a variety of backgrounds and skill levels  Questions vetted and supplemented by NSIDC

 Post-research, both NSIDC and Blink created wireframes

 Both sets of wireframes were tested, to compare and contrast  Seven participants; many were from previous research group

 Final wireframes incorporated feedback on both proposals

Research Highlights

How our users work

 Participants frequently used scripting for visualizations  Participants used both web interface and scripting to access data  Python users were interested in sharing and working with others  Participants were interested in support for cloud functionality

 Processing and sharing  Some security access concerns

 Participants were split over file browsing on the data landing page

 Users want an option to view a list of files for individual download

 Participants wanted to see a demonstration of the data in use

Research Highlights

Technology in hand

 Participants all used larger monitors (25 inches or more)

 90% Macs  Occasional need to use laptop without monitor (e.g., airports)  Points to a need to better utilize screen real estate

 Participants would use mobile, but only for documentation

 Ensure site is responsive for all documentation  Avoid PDFs
