Summary of action points arising in the meeting

• NS to report back on how we make current tickets available to those outside the Met Office.

Carried forward from previous meetings

• GM to collate UKCA Science plans.
• CJ to circulate provisional list of UKCA configurations at/post UM8.4.
• ZK to request Philip to circulate information/updates on JASMIN.
• MD to update PUMA 8.2 TropIsop+MODE job with latest changes.

Status of previous Actions

• NS to check admin on UKCA email lists. JISCmail – look like only Luke can do this.
• NS to circulate list of Somewhen tickets on UKCA. Not copied across yet. This is a tedious process, and hard to keep up to date. We clearly need better collaboration tools. NS to look into this and report back.
• GM to collate received UKCA Science plans into a document. Not collated yet. GM to do so before Christmas to inform JCWRP report (early Jan) and board meeting (Feb?)
• CJ to circulate provisional list of UKCA configurations at/post UM8.4. Still to do.
• ZK to request Philip to circulate information/updates on JASMIN. Still to do.
• NS to circulate link for external release of Iris postprocessing package, with info in UKCA/Iris experience. Unfortunately the AQUM UKCA/Iris project has stalled due to funding issues. It is hoped to pick this up again, but at present it is poorly documented. Iris itself is publicly available, with a Google group for discussion.
• CJ/MD to port a UM8.2 TropIsop+MODE job to PUMA including latest improvements/fixes. UKCA @ 8.2 (TropIsop+MODE) is on PUMA as of mid-Nov. Update to come this week, based on amogh.
