Satellite and Model Validation GAID Breakout session 1 Please choose your breakout group from the three below (and delete the other names) Climate Research Climate Services Satellite and Model Validation

List of Questions Session 1 What is your perception of the bottom-up process of Gap Identification in GAIA-CLIM: Strengths / Weaknesses etc. How usefulness is the gap assessment process to users? Can we maybe improve? Do you agree that the current 88 gaps in the catalogue are actually gaps? (see the gap catalogue provided) Do you miss gaps or e.g. important elements in the current gaps? Would you like to see another structure of the document/ other cross sections / further analysis of the gaps / interactive tools for the on-line catalogue? Other points raised

List of Questions Session 2 Which gaps do you specifically encounter when running your application? Are these listed / sufficiently well scoped and formulated? Which gaps have the most impact on your work? What would be needed to remedy? What is the risk for not resolving the gap on short / long term? Can you suggest any additional (future) workprogram / activity to resolve one of the current gaps? Can you assess feasibility and distinguish between amount of effort (costs?) expected? Other points raised w.r.t. prioritization, gap impacts, proposed remedies, costs?
