[Go-essp-tech] ESGF Telcon Tuesday (2/12/10)

[Michael Lautenschlager]

Dear Dean,

I think we have one or two more open questions which are related to the 
publication of the requested data according to Karl's variables list. To 
me it is not clear how the process of this secondary ESG data 
publication by the CMIP5/AR5 core data archives will be organized. My 
view is that after initial ESG data publication by the modeling centers 
the three CMIP5 core data archives have to perform quality assurance of 
NetCDF data and of CMIP5 metadata questionnaire output before the 
requested data (Karl's list) are officially be released for the IPCC 
process. My questions are, how this workflow will be organised and what 
are the quality checks for ESG and DOI data publication? We have started 
the discussion but did not complete it.

Will these aspects also be discussed at the telco next Tuesday or is the 
telco focused on the initial ESG data publication process by modeling 
centers?

Because of the METAFOR 2 years meeting in Paris next week at least Frank 
and I are not able to participate. From Hamburg only Stephan Kindermann 
will be able to participate.

Best wishes, Michael
