====== ITSC-24 Meeting Agenda ======

Agenda of the next ITSC DA/NWP Working Group Meeting to be held on Saturday 18th March, Tromsø

  - Welcome
  - Review of progress of action items from the last meeting (10 minutes)
  - WMO (CGMS) High Level Priority Plan Items (30 mins)
      - Discussion on the optimum revisit time for MW sensing (specifically sounders, but any information on imagers is also of interest)
      - What is the timeliness requirement for sounder observations ? How can we quantify this? For reference, DBnet threshold is 30 minutes; goal is 20 minutes.
  - Other items for discussion: (40 mins)
      - Feedback from the community is the impact of having a hyperspectral IR sounder in the early morning 5.30 AM orbit.
      - Does the NWP community concur with decision to switch SNPP CrIS to SW+MW (which would be done when NOAA21 commissioning is complete)
      - Request for feedback from the NWP group on the CrIS collocated VIIRS cluster BUFR test data.
      - Progress on extension of MW sounders over sea-ice and difficult surfaces.
      - Latest information on methods of PC compression for GEO/LEO hyperIR. Any updates on hybrid PC scores for instance.
      - Any updates on the requirement of the MW constellation.[[https://groups.ssec.wisc.edu/_media/groups/itwg/nwp/scimet/science_meeting_3_2022_summary.pdf|The working group gave recommendations in 2022]]. Has this changed in light of recent small sat experience?
  - Website (10 mins)
      - Space agency contacts – please review!
      - Ongoing request for links to LAM impact studies
  - Survey (10 mins)
      - Ideas for storing covariance information re Rmatrix
      - Other improvements
  - Review of standing recommendations (10 mins) (make sure we have the small sat recommendation)
  - AOB (10 mins)
