1. Agenda January 25, 2007 1. Simulation of radiance data 2.Review progress Data distribution Diagnostics Simulation of data

2. Progress in data distribution All data are saved in NCEP mass storage DISK1 DISK2: saved in NASA DISK1 DISK3: saved in ESRL More time series are posted 200mb 850mb and 500mb U,V,Z,T,VO,D W500 U,V,PV,PRES on 315K,330K,350K,370K,530K CP(Convective precipitation), LSP(Large Scale Precipitation) HCC,MCC,LCC, SD SKT, T2m TD2m U10m,V10m,MSLP, SKT The link location will be provided to the user list.

3. NASA/GSFC/SIVO will be able to post less than 1TB data for access by outside of NASA/GSFC. Proposed selection of the data: The complete surface data in reduced Gaussian (N256) (0.18TB) Complete 1x1 pressure level data (0.16TB), Complete 1x1 isentropic data (0.02TB) and A few days worth model level data to be posted as online access. Suggestion Pressure data and isentropic data sorted by date Time series of selected single variables in pressure data and isentropic The complete model level data (2.4TB) must be sent using hard disks.

4. Diagnostics Standard set 1.Comparison to observation by Adrian Tompkins 2.Cyclone track Thomas Jung Suggestion 1.Similar diagnostics to Reading http://ncas-cms.nerc.ac.uk/content/view/79/123/ ECMWF ER-40 Atlas is based on this diagnotics 4. Precipitation comparison to OBS Juan Jusem Suggested Diagnostics for Specific interest 1.African Eastely wave Chris Thorncroft 2.Spectral analysis ESRL/PSD
