Agenda RT3 RCM coordination meeting 13-14 March 2006, Copenhagen
Monday 13 March
9:00 Opening, agenda, logistics
9:30 Status of the ERA40 runs (WP1)
Each partner is expected to give a status report concerning the runs,
following the list of deliverables and milestones that are due until
month 24 (sep 2006):
- D3.1.3 Month 18: First examples of hind-cast simulations at 50km
resolution available.
- D3.1.4 Month 24: Hind-cast simulations at ~50km resolution
available at the RCM database.
- M3.5 Month 21: The ~50km RCM simulation ensemble for Europe based
on ERA-40 completed.
- Mm3.2 Month 24: The ~20km RCM simulation ensemble based on ERA-40
for Europe completed.
12:30 - 13:30 lunch
13:30 Status of the ERA40 runs (cnt'd)
14:30 RCM database and submission details
This round should be finalised by a decision on the submission of
ERA40 runs to the RCM database at DMI
15:30 The planning of the RT2b runs (WP3)
The issue here is the GCM/RCM matrix. The relevant deliverable reads
- M3.6 Month 24: Every RCM is assigned a GCM/emission scenario
member to be used as boundary/forcing conditions in RT2B. RCM scenario
runs should not start before this date, nor before the 25 km RCM runs
are finalised.
The set-up of the manuscript by Filippo and Erik can be used as
guidance of this discussion. If there is an update of this manuscript
available, could you (Erik, Filippo) please distribute a copy?
17:00 Design of the weighing procedure (WP2)
Here a status report of the discussion is needed, together with a
scientific discussion on the way forward. The relevant deliverables are:
- D3.2.1 Month 18: Definition of measures of reliability based on
ability to simulate observed climate in hind-cast mode.
- M3.4 month 18: Specification of pdf techniques to be tested in
ensemble simulations using ERA-40 based hind-casts.
18:00 Closure of day 1
Tuesday 14 March
9:00 Start and update of (travel) logistics
9:15 The evaluation report
Here a discussion can be devoted as to whether the mid-term
evaluation gives rise to revised strategy. For completeness, the review
and Markku's reply are included below the agenda.
11:00 - 13:00 Other business or extra time for earlier points
12:30 - 13:30 Lunch
13:30 - 14:30: Finalization of the 6months progress reports
All partners and WP-coordinators are asked to prepare the 6months
report using the attached templates. This session can be devoted to
harmonizing the various progress reports.
