Agenda

0. Tour de table - usage and needs?
1. Next development focus points?
2. CLIMATE_GRID input generator: update @Ivanderkelen
3. Preprocessor: regridding?
4. InputManager: Update

• Data storing structures - mix of mean, min, max (ERA-5 Daily data) Input Manager (With Path Generation) #69 Notebook

5. Merging Settings -> Move to squash merging

6. Time-axis constraints: pandas datetime or beyond? Constraints on time-axis in input processors and CF checker.  #63

Meeting notes

@wdewettin, @kbruyndonckx @bertvs1 @kobebryant432 and @Ivanderkelen joined the meeting

• Wout will start with the verification of his 30 year runs. (4x different resolution). and will use Valenspy, especially CLIMATE_GRID input convertor. He is keen on adding RMSE and other metrics to the source code. (esp on his analysis using IDF curves, PoT and annual maxima)

• Karian is doing water cycle evaluation of CORDEX BE 1 data.

• Preprocessor: regridding step will happen in there (in addition to masking, extracting point data and other preprocessing steps). The input convertors will provide the output on the native grids (eg rotated latitude and longitude for RCM simulations). Important that the information on their grids is passed in arguments. to do for @kobebryant432

• Discussion on time-axis (datetime64, numpy type). Decision: keep flexible to read in different calendars, BUT datetime64 is standard (CF checker should give warning if not datetime64).

• Idea to make overview table on observational datasets: new issue Feature: Overview table of available observation data per variable, domain, time frequency #82

• Discussion on ERA5 structure, see Feature: ERA5 input processor #62

Actions

Priorities

• working on the preprocessor and getting the first users up and running!

Maybe include Wout, Fien & Karian for this meeting? As they are main users it may be useful to see where they are at, what they are waiting for and how we could integrate them more into the process. @bertvs1 @Ivanderkelen

Good idea, I'll forward them the invite.
