Section rough draft

Collaborative space

Start: enlist a team member in hydrology

Best effort by everyone

Allocation of effort

having a style guide earlier

Alignment with other guidance material

Scope of guide

Process for better aligning with other guidance documents (ET-DRC is developing a framework for rolling reviewing.); Manual on Code; climate data model;

Things are evolving - also big effort on review of climate-related WIS Manual (2 Vols) - matching the Guide → potentially split into two vols → keep in mind how to manage this.

  • Other issues (William)

    • HQ-GDMFC updates;

    • WMO No 1131 updates - metadata issues;

    • OPENCDMS - brief report on collaborations with CliDE/CliDEsc colleagues;

    • DayCli - Handbook. Assistance sought with message format/BUFR sequence;
