Directions

Please use this page for a weekly stand-up report from each development team. Once a week, preferably on Thursday, a person appointed by each team should access this page and post a short summary of the team's status. There is no need for lots of detail. When in doubt, use fewer words. The stand-ups will become a basis of the agendas of our bi-weekly teleconferences.

NOTE: Please include links to draft notebooks whenever possible

Please use the following format:

Week of 21 July 2014

Stand-up for Axiom

Accomplishments

  • Reviewed Extreme Wind notebook
  • Organized Theme 1 notebooks into the agreed upon directory structure

Anticipated activities

  • Theme 1 progress

Issues

  • Suffering from information overload when trying to make progress.
  • Documentation is everywhere, some is outdated.

Stand-up for ASA

Accomplishments

  • Continued work on winds notebook, including testing catalogs other than NGDC.

Anticipated activities

  • Write progress report for extreme waves notebook and add modeled wave data
  • Finish extreme currents notebook and progress report
  • Write winds notebook progress report
  • Continue creating spin off notebooks to demonstrate more functionality such as new data catalogs
  • Test wind data notebook with additional geographies to determine whether lack of data in other catalogs is location specific.

Issues

  • Initial tests of other catalogs (to find wind data) did not yield any results will investigate further (e.g. for other geographies) before documenting in a progress report

Week of 28 July 2014

Stand-up for Axiom

Accomplishments

  • Began a dissolved oxygen discovery notebook
  • Began a nutrients notebook (but very skeletal)
  • Updated Wiki for Theme 1 Baseline events

Anticipated activities

  • Working on dissolved oxygen discovery vs pyoos
  • The python stalwart will cross-check the noob's code

Issues

  • NERRS stations are a great resource with known dissolved oxygen data, but don't use a CF standard name for discovery and require IP registration for data access. Emilio was working with Dan Ramage to implement an access key approach that Emilio says went live. End result is that a Dissolved Oxygen notebook targeted at NERRS stations won't work "out-of-the-box".

Stand-up for ASA

Accomplishments

Anticipated activities

  • Develop a single "spin-off notebook" for the basic oceanography variables already being tested (wind, waves, currents, water level) to test all end points for multiple geographies. Develop a chart summarizing available endpoints per variable/csw/location. Idea is to create one nicely organized notebook that tests multiple variations of CSW/location for each variable and avoid the need to create many simple spinoffs.
  • Finalize waves extremes notebook
  • Model-HFRadar-Obs comparison notebook; coordinate with ASA EDS team about access/use of HFRADAR data
  • Update folder structure for Theme 2 (to reduce length)
  • Finalize currents extremes notebook
  • Update currents model-obs notebook to (1) point out that the easiest datasets to access are not really comparable the Chesapeake Bay example in the map and (2) look for model data inside CB

Issues

  • Initial tests of other catalogs (to find wind data) did not yield any results; will investigate further (e.g. for other geographies) before documenting in a progress report
  • ASA team has multiple ideas for new notebooks, need to discuss next steps and ensure we're not duplicating effort with others. Examples include (1) determine whether sea ice is a factor when modeling oil spills (too much overlap with polar bears & ice?); (2) Water temperature - need a scenario simpler than cold pool to start, e.g. Can we discover and access high enough resolution data to support recreational activities (surfing, swim races) or given a fish death event, can we find evidence of hypoxia? More generally, can we compare obs, model, satellite data, etc.; (3) Can we use USGS rapid deploy gages to discover info about overland inundation?
