Survey

  • Xiaoxia presented the current version of the Survey
  • A webpage for WSI Survey on WMO activity area is created. (in draft mode, not published) The survey was well accepted by the team. The Team discussed the motivation behind making a survey. It was clear the importance of knowing what is the situation and the message sent to the Members on the need to be prepared to process data with WSI. The survey looks very long, but it is important to touch on all the aspects of the data processing to be able to have a clear picture. The Team discussed the option of adding a free text at the end of the survey to ask for a free opinion on what the Members need. However, it was considered too complex to summarise free form answers on a survey to be sent to all the Members.

There was a request to strengthen the motivations of the survey before sending it out.

  • TT-WSI-5-A1 To add motivations regarding possible support and training in the description of the survey. (Enrico, Team)

Decisions

  • The team approves the survey and the Secretariat will send it out as soon as possible after making the requested additions.
  • The team decided to have a full meeting by end of March to discuss the workshop.
