2. Overview and Purpose Overview Purpose
To collect and verify the list of GSICS tools currently available to support the GSICS collaboration effort.
Purpose
To identify the tools and their attributes; developer, purpose, status, location, etc.
To discuss whether their attributes require updates.
To discuss updates to the tools themselves.

3. Tool List: Current Status
GSICS collaboration Servers – EUMETSAT lead
GSICS plotting tool – EUMETSAT lead
GSICS product catalogue – GCC lead
GSICS wiki – NOAA lead
GSICS SRF – JMA/NOAA lead
GSICS netCDF format checker – NOAA lead
GSICS products netCDF generation – EUM/CMA
GSICS Wiki, input from Tim - Hi Pete,
Yes - I do have a problem with it. Lots of problems with it:
It’s on the Wiki – so only those with an account can update their actions
It’s on the Wiki – so you have to ignore the security warning to read it
You cannot sort the actions to see which you are responsible for
– or which are already closed
It’s a pain in the neck!
But it’s better than nothing. And maybe better than anything else GCC can dream up.
So I have given up chasing for now. I would be happy for GDWG to discuss these requirements and propose an alternative solution.
Cheers,
Tim
