Draft Agenda

  1. Approval of agenda and minutes of ET-ACDM-2023-1 and ET-ACDM-2023-2 meetings (10')

    • NB: ET-2023-1 voted against log in requirement for data search and data access for WDCs: "Vote on a recommendation: Agree to recommend not to require log in for data access. [...] ET should also recommend to not require a log in to search for data. [...]". This affects WDCGG and WRDC (whose status is anyway in question). A reaction from these WDCs is expected.
    • NB: ET-2023-1 also stated that "ET-ACDM should make recommendations for how cooperating and contributing networks are dealt with (in particular, remove barriers to site creation and visibility)". This should be translated into an action item with a responsible assigned.
    • NB: ET-2023-2 assigned responsibility for follow-up on https://copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/ to MF. Topic relisted on today's agenda.

  2. GAW updates from Secretariat and outcomes from the WMO Congress (Cg-19) (SM, 10-15')

  3. Follow up with the discussion at the GAW Splinter meeting at EGU23 (SM, 10')

  4. Work Plan for 2023 in support of current GAW IP (20')

  5. Specific requirements on GAWSIS in future deadline: mid-April 2023 (jkl, 10')

  6. Implementation of topic hierarchy for WIS2 (10')

  7. Follow-up on https://copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/ (MF, 10')

Briefing about EGU23 discussion: interesting NRT discussion. The requirements need to come from the application areas. Need better interaction with that side. Idea to invite people from “applications” to let us know about requirements for each area. New Head of GAW to be recruited this year, P4 position focused in ozone removed. Still the new Head could have good knowledge of the ozone area.

Open discussion about GAW station application:

JK: The current IP defines the procedures and the responsibility for station applications the SSC and SAGs.

Procedure to become new station: application form sent, data requested, data checked. Time frame to be added.

JW: for contributing networks not needed to submit data to WDC only to submit it to OSCAR, however is not possible to create a station, unless you have NMHS representatives.

JK: governance question, rules from Executive Council? Members should register the station in OSCAR, if they are not able Secretariat can do it. That would include contributing networks.

JW: 40 to 50 sites which are not GAW stations. OSCAR website has a listing of national focal points. Downloading the file for all contacts works, but does not include the emails or phone numbers! Do I have to ask 40-50 of my colleagues to search through the OSCAR website individually to find this information? not an option.

MF: we accept data and perform QA/QC, we are the only doing the QA/QC. We would need a workflow for station uptake with a clear definition of roles and responsibilities. The same for routine data quality control. The QA/QC for aerosols should be done before sending the data to the WDC.

Proposal for a meeting: Judd, Markus, Jörg, Luis, Etienne, Greg?

AV: for the G3W we will need hundreds of new stations and we need a simpler process. We just assume that the data sent is of good quality, but we don’t check much of the data. Registration with the NFP but many research centres are disconnected from those NFP.

For SM & LD: to draft the flow diagram for how to register a station in the WIGOS or GAW framework with reference to the technical regulations, for data centers and providers to refer to that and help people understand these procedures.

7. Discussion about Copdess:

MF: about copdess: you can’t deal with fairness as one topic. Fairness is a bunch of services that data centres need to apply. Focus next meeting, link in minutes so it can be assigned as an action item for people later. (Action Item for all data people)

4. Work Plan for 2023 in support of current GAW IP

• Achievements and Specific action items: Assign responsible rapporteurs (Please send your inputs by the 8th of May in order to facilitate the discussion during the meeting) • Jörg urged the group to report on the Group’s achievements. • Comments should be high level. The Team could discuss about the inputs afterwards. It would be also useful to be more specific. We'll look at that in the next meeting. • Topics/actions that team would like to address/discuss to be prioritised. Jörg ask a volunteer to take the lead on that. 1. WIS 2.0 (Tom) ; 2. GAWSIS (Judd); 3. U/C reporting (additionally ambient variability) (Gao) • In the next meetings we can include the topics

5. Specific requirements on GAWSIS in future deadline: mid-April 2023

Deadline end of next week, then handled to ET-WT Alex to propose a new level 9, 10 hierarchy.

6. Implementation of topic hierarchy for WIS2

• https://github.com/wmo-im/et-acdm/wiki/ET-ACDM-input-for-development-of-WIS2-topic-hierarchy Level 9 and 10 to be developed by the group. Are these levels similar to others? Level 9 is common, 10 is more specific. Alex: disagree with level 10, some observations could be ghg and reactive gases. The different levels are historical.
