Problems still pending – Versus1
• Just before Christmas holidays, through the work done by CSCS, Pirmin and PL team, VERSUS has been succesfully installed at MCH.
• DWD installation is almost completed with installation of patches
• RHM complete installation is still pending, but GUI works. Problems with upload phase reported

• Task 0: Help Desk, bugs fixing activities and release of VERSUS update
Decision from Dec Meeting…some rules to help the Help Desk
• Collect all the questions
• Send all of them on, e.g, Tuesday morning every week (if any)
• Separate problems due to installations, uploading, scores, graphics in mails
• Reply for the end of the week (Friday)
• Problems fixing as soon as possible

Decision from Dec Meeting…some rules to help the Help Desk
• Could we have a page with FAQ on COSMO web site?
Theodore is already working on something similar for all the project.
More news soon
• PL team will be responsible for selection and posting of questions and
answers

Task 1: Implementation of COSI global Index
The implementation of COSMO global index COSI will give to COSMO community the possibility of monitoring the long-trend performance of various Cosmo model implementation. COSI index as well as single statistical scores and skill scores used for its calculation will be available through VERSUS with ascii and graphical output.

Task 2: Implementation of weather type dependent verification and improvement of CV.
• The development of weather type dependent verification has an impact on the understanding of model behaviour and its use at the same time. For this reason, based on the experience at MCH, has been decided to develop such a function in VERSUS software.
Main Activities (PL team and all the partners)
• Task 2a: Preparation of a Guidelines document for the development of Weather dependant verification (WDV) DONE during the meeting dec 2009
• Task 2b: Conditional verification on different space/time - ONGOING• Task 2c: Development of VERSUS software module for the implementation
of WDV, CV and update of Web GUI - ONGOING

Task 2: Implementation of weather type dependent verification and improvement of CV.
Deliverables: new software modules• Update of VERSUS package to include WDV and CV improvement.
Deadline: March 2010.
Decisions from the Dec. meeting
A“standard” Ascii format for VERSUS uploading will be prepared and distributed soon (PL team) : approval from all the partners DONE

Task 3: Use of new Observation data
The use of other data than the ones already managed by VERSUS system is important to make the observational sample larger, important especially for conditional verification and for very high resolution models.
Main Activities (PL Team, DWD, MCH)• Task 3a: Identification and analysis of Observations to be loaded following
SDO priorities: Airep, Amdar, Windprofiler, TEMP (non standard pressure level); - ONGOING (by Uli Plufger)
• Task3b: Implementation of Loader module (msgs coded in BUFR format) and creation of tables in DB; - STARTED
Decision from Dec Meeting • Description of verification activities using Airep, Amdar and NSPL: DWD• Description of verification activities using Windprofiler: Francis• Description of verification activities using Non standard pl of temp:
investigation on interpolation possibilities with Field_extra - FrancisDONE

ones for production of Upper air verification (DWD perform separately)
• Task3d: Implementation of verification of Wind gusts using Synop;• Task3e: Analysis and description of Radar wind data for use in
VERSUS system(VAD, radial);• Task3f: Implementation of loader for radar wind data;

Task 4: Use of gridded observation (analysis fields)
• The use of gridded observation (analysis field) is crucial to check the performance of a model compared to an objective analysis (model oriented verification) and to apply special verification methods for very high-resolution models, as Fuzzy verification (through the use of Fuzzy toolbox) and later object oriented verification (MODE and SAL).

Task 4: Use of gridded observation (analysis fields)
Decisions from Dec meeting
• Use of gridded observation producing standard statistical scores: PL team
IMPORTANT
Gridded observations have to be provided on the same grid of the model you to be verified (resolution, area rotation…)
