Review of activities since the last meeting Action Items Progress 26 action items from the last Annual Meeting. 24 completed. 2 overdue (some reflect change of circumstances; some will likely be reformulated at this meeting) 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Communication 259 Subscribers. GSICS User Messaging Service 259 Subscribers. Since last annual meeting 41 new subscribers added. Registration in GUMS is steadily increasing GDWG maintains the GUMS 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Communication GSICS Dev Server GDWG maintains the Dev Server

Review of activities since the last EP meeting IMD GDWG progress GEO and LEO Data receiving stations have been setup. Real time visualization and quality monitoring for NPP, METOP-A/B , MODI NOAA available Infrastructure for cross calibration being setup. 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Review of activities since the last meeting NOAA GDWG progress Support to GCC for the transition of MW FCDR product demo and then to pre-operational phase. SRF of GEO instruments in NetCDF format [support to DCC] Developed Product Taxonomy This is supposed to be the basis for redoing the THREDDS configuration to group GSICS correction products differently. Also the taxonomy would come handy in planning how to utilize the file naming convention and any other data management task. Developed a data model for satellite instrument event logs and translated it into an extension to the ISO 19115-2 metadata standard's XML Schema. 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Review of activities since the last meeting NOAA GDWG progress Initiated process to get DOI number for all GSICS products and documents. DOI for MW already assigned by NOAA ( outside of GSICS ) GDWG to have a web meeting in June 2014 to decide on doi Vs oid. Other GSICS products need review to progress to op. (need clarity from EP on archival & GPPA modification, Chair’s decision) New website for GDWG ( content requested from members). New GPPA ( proposed by Peter Miu, Manik Bali). 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Review of activities since the last meeting JMA GDWG progress Satellite event log Provided the information on the JMA website in Mar/June 2013 Change of the GEO-LEO IR RAC NetCDF contents Met the requirements of EUMETSAT bias plotting tool in July 2013 Provision of official SRF data to GRWG VIS/NIR sub-group Provided data to GDWG in Apr 2013 Collaboration with WIS Reported feasibility to the GDWG chair in May 2013 Calibration change alerts Reported feasibility to gsics-dev in June 2013 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

EUMETSAT GDWG progress Review of activities since the last meeting EUMETSAT GDWG progress Proposed New GPPA. Support to all GDWG activities. Visualization tool. 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

EUMETSAT GDWG progress On Event Logging Data Model….. Before leaving GSICS, the NOAA GDWG member took a lead in the development of a model for a common satellite event logging system. The model has been briefly evaluated by EUMETSAT and their feedback it that it is too complex for the needs of GSICS. Further evaluation needs to be done. EUMETSAT is submitting a CGMS paper proposing a way forward to simplify the approach to the resolution of this action. Based on the response to this paper, the appropriate actions will be taken. CGMS is tasking GSICS to support activities relevant to their actions (e.g. Event logging). If progress is expected in this or any GSICS action, the GSICS EP needs to urgently and decisively take a lead in managing this long standing issue EUMETSAT (Miu) 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

FROM RESEARCH TO PRODUCTION BASIC PATHWAYS/TOOLS HAVE BEEN MET 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Road Map for 2014 Maintenance of current services in 24x7 mode THREDDS Server Product Catalog and Products archival. Wiki Page/ Web Page GDWG Support to GPPA to enable acceptance of Newer Data into GSICS fold. Centralized Bias monitoring system. 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Road Map for 2014 Satellite Instrument Event Logging specification, design and implementation. Identify a process for archiving GSICS products- need a policy document Implementing new capabilities in the GSICS product plotting tool. GSICS document management plan definition and associated document templates. Doi /Oid numbers for Documents and Products. Address resource crunch 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Road Map for 2014 Asses New tools like Big Data that can Perform analytics when instruments are compared with stable references Detect instrument degradation trends Detect impacts of diurnal/seasonal instrument temp variations. 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Summary NOAA GDWG has been able to ensure running of key services like Product Catalog, GSICS Dev and GUMS File naming and DOI number for products. NOAA has the resources to assign DOI number . Outside of GSICS MW product already got the doi number. 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Summary Progress Reports NOAA, CMA, JMA , KMA. Excellent progress demonstrated by members towards achieving goals of GSICS. Calibration Change Alerts ( Peter Miu, Rob Robelling) Automation, Connection , Harmonization and online depiction discussed. Big Data (Lauri Rokke) Performance of algorithms, analytics GSICS Archiving Process ( Peter Miu) Procedure for archiving, where to archive and until when. 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Summary Event Log ( Rob). WMO to include GPRC event logging links to the OSCAR website. GPPA improvements ( Peter Miu, Manik Bali ) To make GPPA submission online and reduce time of review. GEO-LEO Product promotion ( Manik Bali ). GDWG to extend file naming and meta data standards to other channels. GDWG to support to User workshop 2014 . 15th Session of Executive Panel Guangzhou, China 16 May 2014

Summary Harmonize working hours of GDWG members. Successfully collaboration requires all GSICS GPRCs to: Nominate a representative to the GDWG. Each GDWG representative needs to commit time to work on GSICS activities (see details in the 2014 GDWG minutes). CGMS is tasking GSICS to support activities relevant to their actions (e.g. Event logging). If progress is expected in this or any GSICS action, the GSICS EP needs to urgently and decisively take a lead in managing this long standing issue.

Introduction GSICS EP GRWG GDWG GPRC GCC GCC Dir. Product Quality Manager GSICS Quarterly Editor US/European/ Asian Correspondent Product Baseline Manager Web Master GCC Deputy IR UV VIS MW Advise the Executive Panel in the planning and implementation of data management activities.

Introduction Concept Implementation Milestones since 2007 2010 2007 Archiving requirements.  Access methods.  Data sets.  Meta Data  v  Documentation  v  Security Requirements. 2010 The essential requirements of the server as a data exchange platform were satisfied. The server was ready for operations. 2011 Bias Monitoring. NetCDF file naming conventions 2008 Concept of Catalogue.  Data format.  Event log. Data Management Services  2012 GSICS User Messaging Service NetCDF file naming conventions THREDDS Config. finalization 2009 GPPA  (Product Acceptance ) Docs on WIKI  NetCDF file definitions  2013 Product Catalogue. Web-based bias monitoring tool 2014

Key Discussions and Action items Resources needed to maintain the running of servers, websites ,catalogs AK Sharma from IMD indicated that IMD would identify a person to work on GDWG. Accounts on Wiki would be provided to Masaya and Peter. Masaya (VC), Peter ( Nominated himself VC). Harmonize working hours of GDWG members. Aleksandar’s ideas on Taxonomy for products was presented. It was felt that currently we don’t have resources to implement it at server level. However GCC website would give an interface that would more or less follow the Taxonomy.

Adoption of the proposed product taxonomy. GCC applying Taxonomy directly on the Catalog. New organizing of the products on the THREDDS catalog based on proposed taxonomy Not necessary and need resources. NetCDF file content organization of new products GDWG would look into it and asses its feasibility. Formats and procedure for storing and exchanging satellite instrument event logs. Revisit GSICS Product Acceptance. Is Big Data an answer to our questions.
