Presentation Transcript

  1. Coordination Strategy and Project Management • NCAR working group model seems to work well • One WG for each major component of model • Software engineering / technical WG • Composition of WGs can evolve over time • Coordinating committee and working group • Need a strong chair of the committee to ensure progress is made • Concern about time / money for people that lead this effort • There is a need for base funding to support a large, coordinated effort like the ASM • Project office model has advantages but NSF is moving away from this - help coordinate activities • Project office needs to be more than admin - also have scientific interest / expertise • Need for computer support for this effort • CPU hours • Data storage / sharing

  2. Funding sources • Need a diversity of funding sources • NSF, NOPP, DOE, … • Industry sources of funding / energy companies • Military interest in the Arctic with decreased sea ice • National Ice Center, USGS, others • It is not clear how to coordinate funding from several agencies • Matching support from universities • Personnel support (post-docs, faculty time) • Get funding agency involvement at early stage of plan development • Need program managers involved when science plan is being drafted

  3. Need for an open call from NSF (other funding agency?) for ASM development • Call for model development activities • Both for “mature” and “less mature” model components • Also need for data proposal • Synthesis of data / modeling effort • Open competition for project office funding • Proceed through ARCSS “Wheel” to call for proposals? • How specific does this need to be? • Ex. Specify coupler to be used?
