Cryosphere Working Group: Meeting Minutes 2024

CMWG September Meeting minutes

  • Primary aim of meeting was to follow up on suggestions, thoughts and ideas that have come out of the ACCESS-NRI workshop earlier in the month.

  • Meeting discussion mainly focussed around development of ISSM Python tools and data management ideas.

  • It was suggested that CMWG should consider options for a ‘collaborative’ discussion space where ideas can be put forward and discussed (perhaps in a less ‘formal’ space that the Hive) by anyone within the community. A suggestion was maybe to create an open CMWG google doc to gather ideas and then share them on the hive once more developed.

  • Discussions around the importance of standardising ISSM model variables / terminology / outputs.

  • Map nomenclature within ACCESS suite for consistency

  • Potentially start with ISMIP standards

  • Efforts should go into accurately describing ACCESS-ISSM standards in order to help interactions with other models/users/data.

  • Import that any ISSM tools created need to stay up to date with ISSM development versioning (Github actions / automations)
