IOC SPICE - 3 Chair Report Rodica Nitu Brussels Oct 15, 2012

Project Update (1) June 11-15, 2012: IOC-SPICE-2, Boulder Colorado Summary of activities post IOC-SPICE-2 ▫Modus operandi: weekly teleconferences,, via WebEx: well attended ▫Finalised the allocation of Instruments to Sites; ▫Formally invited Site proponents and Instrument Providers to participate; ▫Approved the Data Protocol; it includes publication guidelines, enabling the publication of partial results prior to the Final Report; ▫Approved the Commissioning Protocol: documents the site configuration at the onset of the experiment, as a baseline for the data analysis and assessments during the experiment; ▫Defined the configuration of references: consistent and defendable for all participating sites;  Obtained clarification regarding the Pluvio2 data to be used for the derivation of reference observations; ▫Assessed installation and configuration details: calibration of gauges, use of antifreeze, Alter Shield configuration.

Project Update (2) Under way: refining the objectives for meeting SPICE goals regarding the measurement of snow on the ground and snowfall. Work towards establishing a SPICE Data Archive, building on the archiving capabilities of each site: ▫will host all SPICE data; ▫Will ensure consistent data format and data quality; ▫Will enable the data analysis. ▫Potential hosts:  National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), USA (proposal under way)  Environment Canada, Canada (proposal still to be finalised) Established the Data Analysis Team: ▫Coordinate the preparation a reference dataset for inclusion in the WMO-SPICE Final Report and the analysis of the intercomparison data. ▫Coordinate the preparation, interpretation and reporting on the SPICE results in accordance with project objectives. Data analysis: Estimated: 30,000 daily files/season: (200 files/day x 5 months/year) ▫Decision needed on the use of data outside the winter season.

Participating Sites 15 sites, in 11 countries:

Instrument Participation Detailed information in the IOC SPICE-2 Meeting report Received submissions from 20 Instrument Providers, for 26 different models of instruments; operating principles: ▫Weighing gauges ▫Tipping buckets ▫Optical gauges ▫Snow depth sensors ▫Snow water equivalent; Two additional submissions received since the SPICE IOC-2: ▫Surfasense (USA) GPS reflections off the ground surface : rejected due to footprint required, and status of development; ▫Vaisala: rejected due to the timing of the submission; indication was given of an additional potential call for participation in Two instrument models have been withdrawn: ▫Electrical Rain Gauge ( submitted by KNMI); ▫Snow Pack Analyser, model SPA - Summer - (submitted byHydrological Services America) Included in SPICE: 24 models, a total of 50 instruments will be tested on 10 participating sites; Each participating site will include instruments and configurations of interest and representative for the national applications.
