A recent report provided a list of some of the new jobs that may emerge from these changes, such as robot ethicist, machine-learning developer, behavior prediction analyst, and data farmer ( Tytler et al. 2019 ). For science data jobs, the future is here as workers help scientists find, access, and make interoperable machine-actionable data across domains and organizations to facilitate science. Presently, science students may be underprepared for these roles because

Scientific data sharing benefits establishing an honest academic environment by increasing replicability ( Carter et al. 2017 ; Nuijten 2019 ) and enhances the data value by reusing in further research ( Piwowar et al. 2007 ; Li et al. 2020a , 2021 ). The concept that “science is driven by data, data is a mirror of science” ( Hanson et al. 2011 ) has penetrated all aspects of scientific research. The essence of scientific data sharing is to provide scientific data to the public in an open

modern Earth scientists are often tasked with pioneering big-data analysis, of the top-10-ranked undergraduate programs in Earth science ( U.S. News and World Report 2022 ), the majority require one or fewer semesters of coursework in probability and statistics, and none have required coursework in computational methods such as databasing or computer programming. In the past several decades, the research community has proposed many guidelines to promote scientific rigor in observational

mode and spreading of the distribution. Overall, a proper set of chosen variables should have a mixture of smaller and higher moments. The common practice in data science to describe an unknown pdf is to use its mean μ and standard deviation σ together with the third and fourth standardized statistical moments: namely, skewness γ and kurtosis κ . For brevity, we will refer to all these parameters as statistical moments. Equation (1) of the supplemental material shows how the

( Fig. 1 ). Fig . 1. A hybrid physics–AI model for improving hydrological forecast. Data science workflow and connections among different components are shown. A two-way workflow is shown here: Process-based climate and hydrological modeling provide machine identifiable and physically interpretable quantity to the deep learning model, which in turn provide an improved forecast, and its biophysical interpretation can develop a new scientific hypothesis. Each of these components is described in

In practice, data scarcity, distribution shift, and varying regimes of the dynamical system complicate finding a suitable resampling or subsampling scheme that produces both sufficiently independent and identically distributed ensemble members without biases. In both bootstrap as well as subsampling techniques, a suitable choice of window size depends on the autocorrelation of the time series at hand. Highly

A description of cases allows us to derive a 19-element checklist that we hope can be applied to millions of historical weather observations remaining to be rescued. 2. Trust throughout the life cycle of historical data rescue The concept of trust is not new to weather and climate science. Trust has been raised numerous times, for example, with regard to climate models (e.g., Raäisaänen 2007 ; McGovern 2020
