Topics

  1. Welcome @pepcos as new member
  2. Brief report on cross-team meeting from 2022-12-05 and 2023-01-30 [https://github.com/ESMValGroup/Community/blob/main/Cross%20Team/Minutes]
    • Funding opportunities: how and where to get funding
      • natESM (programming help to improve preprocessor) has been granted
      • different small scale funding opportunities in UK
      • Horizon EU call is out: possibility to do evaluation with ESMValTool
      • infrastructure call for 2024 might be another possibility
    • Redistribution of tier 3 datasets
      • making access to cmorized observational datasets easier on HPC systems
      • contacting ~30 data provider (tier 3 datasets) and ask for permission to provide cmorized datasets on selected HPC systems
      • so far, positiv feedback from 9/10 providers contacted
    • Update on consortium agreement and contributor license agreement (CLA)
      • legal departments are in contact
      • aim: having consortium agreement in place by next workshop
    • Next ESMValTool workshop
      • 2-3 day workshop and a tutorial for SMHI people
      • planned for May/June at SMHI (Norrköping, Sweden), no exact dates yet
      • hybrid format
      • worskhop in fall 2023 might be online only
    • Tutorials and answering of questions
      • general tutorial planned for fall 2023
      • WCRP academy: bringing together training providers and climate scientists, possibility for ESMValTool tutorial
      • handling of questions on GitHub: approaching user engagement team if they would be fine picking up on unanswered questions and tagging people who might be able to provide an answer
  3. ESMValTool release v2.8
    • Prioritization of pull requests (and reviews) for release
    • Documentation updates
    • Website
      • GitHub pages website is now online (https://www.esmvaltool.org/)
      • Website content needs updating (e.g. about, roadmap, cmip6 contribution, gallery)
      • 2-hour sprint at the next workshop to update website content
    • Substantial changes to ESMValCore (PR #1609 [ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#1609])
      • recipes continue to work until v2.10 but might need updating
      • handling of fx variables (now called supplementary variables) changed, improved flexibility
      • support for wildcards (e.g. given variable and experiment: find all available datasets) but probably not acceptable for recipes used in publications
      • offline option will be replace by search_esgf option (PR #1935 [ESMValGroup/ESMValCore#1935])
      • tutorial might need to get updated
  4. Scientific mid- to long-term strategy - where do we want to go, what are mid- and long-term scientific aims?
    • give feedback to technical lead team and update roadmap
    • road map from @hb326 would be a good start
    • science lead team meeting planned specifically on this point
  5. General questions and topics
