Meeting Minutes



1) - Time and date for face to face meeting and next phone conference

 

April 1st 3pm phone conference

May 11th - 13th face to face meeting with casual get-together in the

evening.



   - Status on last two NLDAS papers

     Mitchell et al. = ready to print

     Lohmann et al.  = in copy editing

   - Thoughts about a 10 paper JGR reprint

 

Ken will send out template for cover page. Options for back page

will be explored.



2) Brian: Update on PRISM work

 

regenerate 1/8th forcing,

unified precip fills holes (undefined in least squares)

needs 1999 Sep 28th to Nov. 15th RR data



3) Status on model development with general discussion of plans for

   the next two years (long-term data collections to support the

   modeling, continued experiments with the models). Each group

   could summarize their plans, we could then converge on joint

   actions.

 

EMC:  snow cover aquired, compare with Princeton methodology (Justin

      to contact Ming)

      OK Mesonet data can be included in the future (NOAA, Princeton,

      Rutgers, NASA cooperate)

      did work on early snowmelt problem

      time steps experiments

 

NASA: different set up for Mosaic re-runs

 

Princeton: physics experiments

           new version of Vic: cold season improvements, more layers

 

OHD: next version of SAC has PET correction

 

Rutgers: more data collection (Nebraska)



4) radiative transfer model

5) Erics proposal for Joint Center

   Princeton Data Assimilation Workshop October

6) Data Assimilation plans NOAA / NASA

   - Noah Adjoint Model

   - Ensemble Kalman Filter

 

Transfer to LIS?

 

NASA's driver has assimilation capabilities

Princeton started data assimilation

 

To do list:

- put models on sgi108 to run retrospective / realtime (Dag will coordinate)

- Brian re-create forcing
