ID Owner Action Report & new status
1.6 Alistair Wrapping up the discussion on backward compatibility This war worked on during the Workshop in October. Draft pull request was opened for the documentation for the community to comment on. Might be ready to be merged and added to release of v2.8. Keep action open until the policy is finalised.
1.7 Alistair, Birgit, Ranjini, Lisa Being on the lookout for user engagement funding opportunities Recurring action. Ranjini mentioned small calls for open research calls in the UK (would be for small project like fixing the documentation, etc.). She will forward the calls to the Cross Team members for everybody to evaluate if this would be a funding option.
5.1 Alistair Progress preparation for implementation of CLA assistant The problems regarding the ownership are still not totally resolved. Ranjini will contact Rémi regarding the possibility of having a GitHub user with several different email addresses. Alistair will then create the GitHub account for the CLA. Action continued.
5.2 Alistair Keep progressing discussions with partners on CA Recurring action. See below.
5.3 Birgit Create first draft of work plan using workshop notes (GitHub discussions) To be done

Upcoming Horizon Europe infrastructure call - ENES-RI engagement, ESMValTool priorities

  • New calls are open for Horizon Europe projects, including some about research infrastructure
  • It was mentioned that it would be helpful to think about new developments that we want to implement in the Tool and then check if we can make use of the call to actually get funding for them.
  • It was also mentioned that we could/should think about getting involved in the workflow of digital twins
  • Two calls seem especially interesting for a possible ESMValTool involvement (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-01 and HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03; https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls/horizon-europe/research-infrastructures_en)
  • AI Alistair: get in touch with ENES-RI to inform them about the new call
  • AI Klaus: check with EC-Earth consortium about their plan regarding the climate side of a digital twin
  • Idea for the next ESMValTool workshop: have a discussion about data storage options (e.g. data lake, ESGF, ...) and how we prepare the ESMValTool to access these options. Maybe we should invite somebody to talk about this?
  • AI all: check the Horizon Europe document for possible (other) interesting calls

Getting permission to redistribute CMORised Tier 3 datasets

  • Birgit and Rémi from DLR have started contacting Tier 3 data providers to obtain permission to host the data in a central HPC data pool (e.g. Levante, Jasmin, etc.) for ESMValTool users. So far responses have been very positive, i.e. the data can be added to the Tier 2 data pool on the HPC systems.
  • Ranjini reported that the newly reorganized Tier 3 data distribution arrangements are part of a wider effort regarding the info about observations for the ESMValTool. A document has been circulated that describes all kinds of information about observations and their CMORization between Ranjini, Rémi and Birgit, and will be opened as a discussion document to the wider community on GitHub soon.

General update on consortium agreement & planning for steering group

  • DLR has provided feedback on the CA draft. There are some remaining questions. MetOffice and DLR legal departments will have a chat about suggested changes to the CA to hopefully resolve them.
  • Alistair is planning a brief meeting with Ranjini and Colin soon about the progress of NERC to sign the CA.

Date of next meeting

30th January 2023. 10-11am GMT, 11-12am CET.
