During their Oct 12-16 meeting, members of the working group will need shared access to spatial data files. These are (mostly?) climate rasters, some as large as 1-2GB, altogether expected to take up ~50-100GB of disk space. Our plan is to use their shared "organisms" working group account on jupiter. Grad assistant Ming Tien will arrive a day early with the files, and we'll meet on Monday Oct 11 to help upload the data and deal with any related issues.

Based on previous discussion, I expect it will be sufficient to have group members use samba mounts to access the data while on-site, with scp/sftp available as well. We can discuss exposing the data over the web if necessary.

Although Brian McGill specifically described this as a short-term storage need, we can also talk about whether it's worth keeping some/all of the data on a longer term basis, whether for subsequent analysis/processing or simply for archival purposes.
