Global modelling and data assimilation systems will be other pillars of the core of the G3W and described in the concept note. The participating centres will benefit from the G3W coordination and efforts to produce guidelines and best practices will be pursued as described in the actions below.
Section 4: At a Glance
Action M1: Establishment of requirements for operational centers and data products.The main measures of success of this activity are an established regulatory framework under WMO Integrated Processing and Prediction System (WIPPS) for the operational centers as well as documentation of required products and outputs from the participating modelling systems. |
Action M2: Documentation of the operational centers.The measures of success are documentation produced by modeling centers adopting established standards and documentation of comparison protocols. |
Action M3: Continuous development and operations (including Rolling Review of Requirements).The measures of success are documentation and sharing of planning documents and development of capability to collect user feedback (e.g., user forums, website helpdesk). |
Action M4: Observations acquisition and pre-processing.The measures of success are that good practices and protocols for acquisition and pre-processing are shared between centers. |
Action M5: Implementation/pre-processing of prior emissions.The measures of success are sharing of intermediate data products and pre-processing software and good practices on the preparation of priors. |
Action M6: Common approaches in operations of operational centers.The measure of success is shared operational plans of the operational centers. |
Action M7: Evaluation and quality control of the modelling products.The measures of success are adopted good practices across operational centers and establishment of a “good metrics” for model performance. |
