COST Action 733 Organisation.
COST733 is is organised in four working groups, with the following
tasks, objectives and deliverables.
Working Group 1: Existing methods and applications
(Leader: Radan Huth, CZ)
During the first phase WG1 was established and divided
into 3 subgroups (A), (B) and (C)
 | WG 1A: Inventory of weather types classifications, |
| WG 1B: Identification of requirements of the various
applications, |
| WG 1C: Selection of classification methods and of
applications to be used in this Action. |
There was an intense exchange of information between these
3 subgroups. WG1 finished in September 2006.
Working Group 2: Implementation and development of weather types
classification methods
(Leader: Andreas Philipp, DE)
|
|
Computation of time series of weather type data using the selected methods of
WG1C and a defined basic data set (e.g. ERA40) for different European regions, |
|
|
Selection of the features from the different selected methods to be combined
in a new common method (based on results of WG1 and the recommendations from
WG3 and WG4), |
|
|
Conception and development of the new method, |
|
|
Programming of the new method, |
|
|
Computation of time series of the new method in different European regions
using the same data set, |
|
|
Corrections and updates of the new method (after exchange of results with WG3
and 4), |
|
|
Presentation and release of the weather types classification data to the other
WGs and the interested scientific community. |
Working Group 3: Comparison of selected weather types classifications
(Leader: Massimiliano Pasqui, IT)
| Find or devise statistical tools for an intercomparison of
weather types classification methods, |
| Statistical comparison/evaluation of available weather type
data including the data provided by WG2, |
| Assessment of the statistical results, |
| Presentation and release of results to the other WGs and
the interested scientific community, |
| Recommend specifications for a new (common) method (interaction
with WG2). |
Working Group 4: Testing methods for various applications
(Leader: Zbigniew Ustrnul, PL)
| Selection of dedicated applications (using results from
WG1), |
| Collection/development of application software, |
| Performance of the selected applications using available
weather type data including those provided by WG2, |
| Comparison of the application results with results of
former methods, |
| Final assessment of the results and uncertainties, |
| Presentation and release of results to the other WGs and
the interested scientific community. |
| Recommend specifications for a new (common) method
WG2 |
