- improved communications are needed. There is some uncertainty in the atmosphere team about how "showstoppers" identified at /wiki/spaces/ATM/pages/15073766 are being handled by the workflow team. It is clear that some have already been fixed and others are being worked on. But it is not yet clear whether all are being worked on or what is the schedule for completion date. We will have some follow up phone calls to resolve this.
- One of the showstoppers specifies the need for an observational data repository, with datasets fixed to be CF Compliant and that satisfy minimal ACME standards. (see /wiki/spaces/WORKFLOW/pages/19464769). Jeffrey Painter (Unlicensed) notes that it would take a lot of work to fix all the datasets currently used by the NCAR NCL scripts. Phil Rasch (pnl.gov) agreed, and indicated that the atmosphere team were not specific enough in our request. What in fact we hoped for was:
- a single official obs dataset repository (which could be mirrored) that was backed up, and supported versioning, etc
- as new or updated datasets were committed to that respository that those datasets satisfied the miniminal ACME standards described at /wiki/spaces/WORKFLOW/pages/19464769
- part of improved communication is a better method for issue tracking. Dean N. Williams (Unlicensed) anticipates a better proposed solution in about 3 months time, in the meantime we will improvise.
