Atmospheric, space and earth sciences are no exception with huge amounts of data flowing in from satellites, networks of ground stations, models and reanalyses. Many of these datasets, in addition to having a basic science inquisitiveness appeal to the research-oriented mind, are also interesting many socio-economical groups. Data investigations, analysis, pattern finding, data curation, visualization, sharing, querying are all a huge question in today’s world where data inflow rate is very high, thereby demanding more efficient tools to address and utilize the large amounts of data for the benefit of mankind.</div><div><br></div><div>The session invites all researchers from atmospheric, space and earth sciences to present their work with Big Data. All aspects related to data analytics methods and tools, Big Data solutions, Big Data processing, visualization, sharing, querying, and results obtained from these studies involving Big Data are all welcome. Researchers in these areas are invited to come together to discuss future directions in utilization of Big Data in space, atmospheric and earth sciences for the benefits of mankind like natural disasters & management and regional and space weather forecasting.</div><div><br></div><div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>We look forward to having a fruitful session with all of you and see you at Hawaii.</div><div><br></div><div>Uma Das</div><div>Indian Institute of Information Technology Kalyani, India</div><div><br></div><div>Sanat Kumar Das</div><div>Bose Institute, India</div><div><br></div><div>C.
