Overview

Rodger & Tom gave a recap of the Project Stewards concept and introduced a proposed additions to the Steward's definition as outlined in this document, and summarized here:

Draft Additions

  • Flexible but limited number of Stewards

  • Regular, approximately monthly, calls to interact with DW team

  • Advise and provide oversight to DW team on prioritizing fulfillment of data requests

  • Evaluate applicability and utility of external projects, i.e., those not directly requested by a Cooperating Agency

  • Provide feedback on DW data request fulfillment process, content, and ongoing level of effort to Technical and Oversight Committees, as needed

Data Requests

The group went on to review pending data requests using the status page in link #3, above. Discussion and action for each request is summarized by the request ID.

Request #1190

Project proposes to use WAQS emissions transformed to WRF-CHEM grid. Some concern that transformed files will be shared with external project members. Group recommended that the Data Use agreement should be reviewed on the next call to include a disclaimer regarding ownership of transformed data, and that the data user make an effort to identify to whom they provide transformed data. Note that requester referred to requested data as "WESTAR emissions". Should clarify that data are "WAQS emissions".

  • Gail T. agreed to act a Steward for this project.

Request #1190: 1221

Request for 2011full WRF2008b filesbase and future year platform with intended use in FLAG AQRV and other Fed. Regs.

  • Mike B aggreed to act as Steward.
