  1. Summary of EMC-DTC Meeting June 18, 2009

  2. DTC AOP 2010 • Tasks to be continued from 2009: • WRF-NMM + WPP community support (Jamie Wolff) • Reference configurations implementation (Jamie Wolff) • GSI community support (Ming Hu) • HWRF community support (ShaowuBao) • HMT-DTC: verification of precipitation forecast, ensemble prediction and verification (Ed Tollerud) • HWT-DTC: Evaluation of cloud-resolving model predictions (Tara Jensen) • NAM-GFS precipitation forecast comparison (Jamie Wolff) • Pre-BUFR and BUFR data tool through DTC

  3. DTC AOP 2010 • Proposed New Tasks to be added: • NEMS software architecture: • Introducing NEMS to the community through organized NEMS workshop/meeting • Preparation for transition to NEMS-based NAM system • Hire DTC software engineer to work at EMC • Ensemble: • Verification of SREF forecasts • Test and Evaluation of different ensemble techniques • HFIP Demo system test and evaluation (LigiaBernardet and Louisa Nance)

  4. Summary of GSI Discussion • EMC and DTC will maintain two separate GSI repositories • Frequent syncing of community with EMC • Need to determine how libraries will be handled • User support • 1 release and 1 tutorial per year – staggered • Helpdesk assistance request – channeled through John Derber • First GSI tutorial class to be offered in September 2010: • 3 day tutorial followed by 2 day workshop • EMC staff will participate as lecturers and instructors (who TBD)

  5. Summary of HWRF Discussion • HWRF tutorial will be held in February 2010: • 2 day workshop followed by 3 day tutorial • Need to prepare for transition to NEMS based HWRF system

  6. HWRF code management plan

  7. Longer term • Support of SREF to the community: • EMC’s WRF-based SREF system is being transitioned to the NEMS-based system. • DTC should work with EMC to make the NEMS-based SREF system available to the community

  8. Follow-up • DTC Management: • DTC will work with NCEP/NWS to establish executive committee, management board, and advisory board. • DTC will prepare AOP2010 and budget for preliminary review by August 2009. • DTC-EMC collaboration: • Should have face-to-face meeting once every 3-4 months. • DTC staff will visit EMC twice a year. • Technical discussion through email and teleconference will be held as needed • Should establish point of contact for each collaborative effort (would also like to have “back-ups” POC).

  9. Mesoscale Ensemble Workshop • 23-24 September 2009 at NCAR Mesa Laboratory, Boulder. • Will invite ZoltanToth to serve as program committee member. • Need a presentation from EMC on NCEP’s plan on global and mesoscale ensemble.

  10. Visitor Exchange • Exchange of visitors: • DTC visitors at EMC: • GSI: HuiShao should be continued • NEMS: New software engineer • EMC visitors at DTC: • HWRF/HFIP: Naomi Surgi should be continued • GSI: Visitor protocol will be discussed and arranged • Suggest EMC establish a “sabbatical” system, to allow staff to spend significant amount of time in Boulder.

  11. Challenges • The presence of EMC at the WRF workshop • Suggest to encourage more EMC staff to participate in WRF workshop • Introducing NEMS to the broader community • NCAR/MMM’s participation in NEMS for both WRF-ARW and the new global model • How will this benefit the user community? • Feature comparison of NEMS and WRF framework. • DTC-MMM partnership in community user support • A formal separation of WRF-ARW and NEMS-NMM will lead to separation of user support. • Will the NEMS-based system get more “market share?” • Should we consider having EMC-DTC-MMM joint meeting on future community user support?
