5. 10 October 2014 Slide: 5 GEO-LEO Solar Product Status 2011-10 Strategy: Combine various invariant targets (DCCs, deserts, etc) and direct comparison of ray-matched collocated observations PI identified for each method and tasked to: Conduct error analysis of each method Draft Outline ATBD for application to GEO imagers GPRCs encouraged to implement common versions of (at least): Rayleigh Scattering/Sun Glint – following ATBD from P. Henry - TBC Deep Convective Cloud – following ATBD D. Doelling – delivered August 2010 Web Meeting 2011-10-26 to review DCC ATBD GPRCs to report results at GRWG meeting March 2012 Aim for demonstration products in 2012

6. 10 October 2014 Slide: 6 GRWG Action Tracker GRWG Actions Reviewed and Updated in GoogleDocs 2011-09-27 Flag delayed actions: EP06_01 Instrument monitoring website GRWG ChairGRWG to define what should be the key factors that need to be displayed in the GSICS Instrument Monitoring web sites.  Action has been taken up by GCC Acting Deputy Director EP10_18 Liaise with SCOPE-CM Pilot Projects to issue Needs Statements EP Chair and GRWG Chair NOAA (Mitch Goldberg) and EUMETSAT (Tim Hewison) to liaise with the SCOPE-CM Pilot Projects (1), (3) and (5) respectively, in order to better understand their needs and facilitate the finalization of the Statement of Needs.  Further inputs received at GSICS Users’ Workshop – what now? GRWG06_33 Validation of metadata and unit definitions to be submitted to the CF committee. All GPRCs / GRWG Chair "GRWG to support the validation of the metadata and unit definition before GDWG re-submit them to the CF committee. See: https://gsics.nesdis.noaa.gov/wiki/Development/StandardVariableNames“ & gsics-dev e-mail group threadhttps://gsics.nesdis.noaa.gov/wiki/Development/StandardVariableNames  GSICS Conventions are currently being revised – so need to repeat this validation
