6th DBNet Coordination Group Meeting (Geneva, Switzerland, 4-6 October 2022)

2.3.1. Argentina (Paula Hobouchian)

A5.1. SMN/CONAE to consider upgrading the high latitude stations (Tierra del Fuego and/or Marambio) to contribute to DBNet 

2.7. Monitoring by NWP/SAF: MetOffice
(Nigel Atkinson / Elisabeth Nolland - remotely)

A.5.3. Provide feedback on traffic light tools for data outages and data consistency as well as email alerts planned by NWPSAF

2.8a

2.8b

3.4.    MWRI & HIRAS: discussion
(CMA, Shengli Wu - remotely & DBNet-CG members)

A.3.3. Define descriptors for MWRI and HIRAS 

4.3.1   Feasibility of FY-3 cloud-based processing
(CMA, Siwei Tian - remotely)

A5.7. EUM and CMA (with the possible involvement of BoM) to investigate the potential use of the public DB cloud platform (introduced by CMA), covering all the aspects relevant to DBNet: providing data to a cloud, pre-processing, product generation, data distribution as well as integration into DBNet  

4.4.2   JPSS-2 (NOAA, Lihang Zhou)

A4.16. Provide one page on Orbital upgrade for JPSS-2

4.4.3.2 NWP SAF’s support for Metop-SG

(NWP SAF, Nigel Atkinson - remotely)

5.1        WMO Community web page: DBNet updates 
(WMO, Zoya Andreeva)

A5.10. WMO (in cooperation with NWP SAF) to revise the content of the DBNet-CG webpage (including some relevant sections from the DBNet Guide, taking into account possible overlaps with NWP SAF webpage)  

5.2     Status of DBNet Article Draft (WMO, Mikael Rattenborg)

A3.7. Prepare first version of DBNet article for publication in a journal (tbd) and in the WMO Bulletin

4.5.1   The use of CCCC groups in GTS bulletin headers (EUMETSAT, Simon Elliott)

A5.8. Any DBNet operator experiencing duplicated bulletin headers to contact regional GISC for allocation of CCCC groups per station and then follow the steps required by WMO to implement that (incl. informing the WIS team via email: wiswmo [dot] int (wis[at]wmo[dot]int)) to avoid the issue of ambiguous identification of data on the GTS (i.e. bulletin headers are generated more than once with the same name) 

4.5.2 Transition from GTS to WIS 2.0

A5.5. To investigate the feasibility of providing full channel set for hyperspectral IR sounders from DBNet (also considering different dissemination methods)

A5.6. To discuss definition of “super subset” of HSIR channels for DBNet  

A5.9. To organise a follow up discussion on the potential WIS 2.0 implementation aspects related to DBNet needs to better understand challenges, volume of the datasets for exchange as well as timeliness
