1) Next meeting is 01/24/2000 at 1pm at
OH
2) Dan Tarpley
- presents GOES vs ETA skin temp. (up to 10K difference) and
surface radiation
- problems
with GOES (due to undetected clouds), group must decide what forcing to use.
-
http://orbit35i.wwb.noaa.gov/goes/gcip
is WWW site
- show
GOES vs SURFRAD solar insolation validations (and
problems
with clouds and snow)
- show and confirm Rachel Pinker's proposed list of
GOES
GEWEX
product archive
3) Review status of action items from last
meeting
- Journal
of Hydrometeorology doesn't want a special issue, need more data for
comparison---> need a couple more months
- John
will show PRISM progress next meeting (John will provide software)
- action
item: Yun will email Brian about the content of the 10 year retrospective
forcing data. OH got the tape, has read it yet.
- All
groups will produce total evaporation data for July-October 1999, for Champaign
Ill. Only VIC sent data to NCEP, problems with migr system on SGI100, MOSAIC
deleted files.
- action
item: John will provide a table of soil parameters, main problem is saturated
hydraulic conductivity (Raves or STATSGO data set) + Cosby numbers.
- Dag
emailed basin information from the ISLSCP (http://edc.usgs.gov/landdaac/gtopo30/hydro)
and will go ahead by himself determine the basins.
- action
item: Curtis will email date of radiation fix to the LDAS group.
- the LDAS forcing data should always have a fallback, Curtis
will email this to LDAS
group.
3) Ken
- distributed AMS Hydro conference preprint on LDAS (best
citation for time being)
- lead
discussion Dec 6 meetings with OH regarding LDAS
collaboration
on streamflow and availability of observations
4) John, Yun
- provided
Dag with basins in the LDAS region. Dag will show plots next meeting.
5) Paul, Brian
- coordinate
LDAS spin-up strategy including retrospective runs
- presented
recent CLM-LDAS runs
6) Dag
- discussed
Jin Juang bucket model-based mid April as cold start values
- presented
of end-of-month state variable plots for end of
November
