  <h2>October KT Telecon</h2>

KT Group, <p></p>

I'd like to set up a KT Telecon for the week of Oct 22.  A possible date/time<br />
is Oct 24, 10:30AM MDT.  <p></p>

The topic for discussion will be an action item suggested by Bill following<br />
the Aug. STM, "the analysis and archival of Marat's AMIP integrations using<br />
community tools and repositories".<p></p>

Please let me if you are availa<p></p>ble during this time, and if you know of<br />
any other CMMAP members who might like to participate so I can check their<br />
schedules before finalizing the meeting time.<p></p>

Thanks, <p></p>

Rodger

KT Group, <br />
It looks like meeting on the 24th will not work for Leo.  The only<br />
alternative that seems to work for everyone is Monday Oct.  22nd of at<br />
1:30 PM MDT.  Could folks please respond to me with their availability on<br />
the 22nd?<p></p>

Thanks, <br />
Rodger

KT Group, <p></p>

There will be a KT Telecon on Monday, Oct 22 at 1:30PM.  The call in # is<br />
970-491-1207<p></p>

We will begin to outline a strategy for making Marat's AMIP data (and<br />
perhaps other AMIP runs) available for processing using the CCSM diagnostic<br />
packages. <p></p>

Below are brief descriptions of 'in-house' datasets we have tracked down so far:
<ul>
<li> CAM AMIP data:  1986 - 1999:</li>
<li> Monthly mean data:  4.82 GB (h0 files)</li>
<li> 6-hourly output data:  3.5 GB (h2 files; ISCCP matrix, FLUT, OMEGA500, PRECT, U200, U850)<p></p></li>

<li> MMF AMIP data:  1986 - 2004:</li>
<li> Monthly mean data:  12.7 GB (h0 files)</li>
<li> crm-scale hourly data:  34.1 GB (h4 files for July 1-5, 1998)<p></p></li>

<li> Daily-mean data for one of Marat's 19-yr AMIP runs using the SP-CAM, very heavy (~100 GB).</li></ul>
Regards, <p></p>

Thanks for setting up the conference call.<p></p>

The standard CAM diagnostics require monthly data.<p></p>

The variability diagnostics, which have not been officially<br />
released, require monthly, daily, and six hourly data.<br />
These include important information (Hovmoller diagrams,<br />
Wheeler-Kiladis diagrams, etc).<p></p>

In the interest of getting started, why don't we begin<br />
with the standard diagnostics?  This will greatly reduce<br />
the burden in terms of storage.  We can return to the<br />
variability diagnostics after crossing this first hurdle.<p></p>

Rich Neale has also developed a comprehensive Taylor<br />
diagram package for CAM.  I'll ask him how to access it.<p></p>

KT Group, <p></p>
This is a reminder for today's KT Telecon at 1:30PM MDT.  The agenda is open<br />
to discussion on how to best proceed with this project.  I have asked a few<br />
CSU folks familiar with Marat's AMIP runs and some of our in-house<br />
diagnostics to sit in.  To provide reference, I have attached a list of<br />
variables in selected CAM and SPCAM monthly integration files.<p></p>

Regards, <p></p>
