Please email the co-chairs with any progress on actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Action DA\/NWP 24-1<\/strong> on Bill Campbell: To circulate information about the COWVR instrument and RFI detection principle to the WG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information from Steve Swadley circulated to working group and instrument specifics added to RFI page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action DA\/NWP 24-2 <\/strong>on Brett Candy: Report to WG members on any useful discussion that took place on use of microwave data over sea ice, snow or land at EPS-Sterna workshop in April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Focus of workshop was orbit impact. Contacted MAG to find out if any studies have been commissioned Update from the MAG: nothing specific planned, focus is on quality of data and the new 325 GHz channels. But there is an initiative at ECMWF on sea-ice & plans to evaluate data over land \/ sea-ice at Norway, SMHI. N.B. Also Polar Workshop in 2021: Workshop on the optimal use of operational satellite microwave products | EUMETSAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action DA\/NWP 24-3<\/strong> on WG co-chairs: Contact Steve English to obtain more information on his proposal for snow and\/or sea ice emissivity ISSI project and circulate to Working Group members. Post meeting details from M. Sandells circulated to members<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action DA\/NWP 24-4 <\/strong>on WG co-chairs: Organise a task team to perform experiments to establish the impact of data latency (esp. DBNet data) in both global and local assimilation systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: ONGOING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action DA\/NWP 24-5 on Fiona Smith<\/strong>: Check with Tim Hultberg & Dave Tobin regarding what feedback has been received on hybrid PC-scores and report to CGMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action DA\/NWP 24-6 on WG Members<\/strong>: Share impact assessment results for FY-3E with the working group, NOAA and CMA as soon as possible in particular to provide evidence for support of the early morning orbit. Still interested in this e.g. online reports, presentations<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: ONGOING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action DA\/NWP 24-7 on WG Members: <\/strong>Action DA\/NWP 24-7 on WG members: Provide feedback to Eric Jurado on proposed methodology for MetImage cluster analysis within IASI-NG FOV<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action 24-8 on WG <\/strong>co chairs <\/strong>Website unused pages \u201crefresh\u201d. We have reviewed pages, cleared out of date links. Added new information – e.g. satellite health monitoring guidance (with International group)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action 24-9 Lam validation meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideal here was to share useful experience (diagnostics\/verification types) on how we measure radiance impact in LAMs. After discussion with several WG members it has been decided to organise an online meeting along the same lines as the Bias correction meeting several years ago. Meeting took place in January 2025. Thanks to presenters – Fiona, Fabien, Roger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Action 24-10 Update NWP survey <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Several improvements – notable making Channel usage columns iconsistent across instrument types. Removal of old\/deprecated observing systems (noting that we have a snapshot at each ITSC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status: DONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Actions from previous conferences are detailed in the working group reports.
