Web cross-cutting group • Attendance: ~12 • RAQ and AER were represented • ECMWF reported on their current capability to: • Publish plots and data • Produce verification and diagnostics • Discussion
Plotting • Provided that a finite set of plot templates can be defined, plots could be produced and published by ECMWF. (RAQ and global models?). • Presentation consistency will facilitate comparison.
Data server • Frames for boundary conditions will be available on data server. • RAQ model outputs will also be available • Access control will be required to protect data.
Verification • Verification against analysis can be done quite easily for all models. It will be produced by ECMWF on a routine basis. • Verification against observation will also be needed for RAQ. It would be useful to use a common dataset of observations to verify both RAQ and global models (AER?) to use a common reference. • It was also stated that verification against observations requires significant man-power and this may not come very soon.
Requests • Software from ECMWF • Format conversion software: to BUFR, to GRIB, from BUFR • Verification software • Plotting software • Web services to provide plotting and verification of uploaded fields would be very useful. • RAQ subgroup: BUFR software and documentation access: • http://ecmwf.int/products/data/software/bufr.html
