7. ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, May 2007, Lausanne 7 Other Issues Whether to Include ITER Scenarios? ITER model predictions will evolve, while present device data should be robust. => publish ITER scenarios separately? (use profile database framework) Preliminary Author List: F Ryter, J Stober, C Greenfield, J Kinsey, M Murakami, E Doyle, G Bracco, M Romanelli, V Parail, P Stubberfield, I Voitsekovitch, Y Sakamoto, T Fujita, T Fukuda, A R Field, C Brickley, G M D Hogeweij, A Chudnovsky, R Budny, T Aniel, F Imbeaux, G T Hoang, J Ongena, C M Roach, M Walters, J Carlsson, T Fredian, M Greenwald, J Stillerman, W A Houlberg include full membership of ITPA Transport and CDBM Groups? additions/deletions/changes?

8. ITPA CDBM/Transport Group Meeting, May 2007, Lausanne 8 Conclusions Status of PR0X Data: –102/122 PR0X discharges are ready for publication now –a few key discharges (d3d, tftr) still to comply with agreed variables... “shame to spoil the ship for a ha’penny worth of tar!” NF Paper Status: –discharge descriptions are rolling in from machines, and most are promised over the coming few weeks –CMR will add content to: Introduction, Data access and tools, Review of Modelling, Conclusion. (early summer) –accumulating draft available for your perusal at http://tokamak-profiledb.ukaea.org.uk/RESTRICTED/ http://tokamak-profiledb.ukaea.org.uk/RESTRICTED/ –updated drafts will be posted to same URL + advertised by email Commitments for missing elements this meeting?
