2) Discuss Use Cases

Use cases can be found at MetOceanUseCases

We aimed to begin identifying actors, information types and query types for each use case. During the meeting Aaron fleshed out this information for Use case 1 (Future Avaition Scenarios). We assigned the others to individuals or groups.

Rather than creating individual actions, ACTION 21 (identify data types) remains open but breaks down as follows:

• Use Case 1: Future Aviation - Aaron
• Use Case 2: Current Aviation Op - Met Office (Bruce/Pete/Chris)
• Use Case 3: Routine op forecasting at NWS - Frédéric
• Use Case 4: Multi-model ensemble, hurricane - John
• Use Case 5: Winter maintenance highways - Met Office
• Use Case 6: Seasonal forecasting India - Met Office
• Use Case 7: Climate impact assessment - Not assigned yet
• Use Case 8: Emergency response - John
• Use Case 9: Polar year - Andrew/Chris
• Use Case 10: Automated steering of hi-res models - Ethan
• Use Case 11: Flood forecasting - Chris >> hydro wg

Please see Use Case 1 as a good example of what is required.

There was further discussion recognising that there will be cross-cutting aspects to many of these use cases.

3) Discuss Frascati/next meeting

• There will be a report back to the DWG in Frascati.
• There will be no telecon that week (9th March), although there should be a phone line into the TC meeting.
• Next conceptual modelling telecon will be 23rd March

4) AOB

• No.

Summary of new actions and decisions from this meeting:

No new actions, but specifics of Action 21 greatly fleshed out (as above).
