General questionnaire development

[sarah]

General questionnaire which has experiments from Ensembles, CMIP3 and other useful sources – Charlotte and Gerry to investigate how much work it’d be. Sebastien to advise, describing the Ensembles experimental set-up.

Ticket Charlotte, Cc Bryan, Gerry, Paco, Sébastien, Mark Morgan so that he can follow the ticket while Sébastien is on leave.

• Wait CMIP5 release, then review questionnaire regarding institution list(first page). Suggestion, instead of list of institutions, have 2 entries in the first page (centennial and s2d), then define models...

• CMIP5 conformance is sufficient to cover ENSEMBLES centennial conformance requirements

• Review conformance aspect for s2d, first guess is that CMIP5 conformance is sufficient to cover ENSEMBLES s2d conformance. Charlotte, Paco, Sébastien

• Open question regarding questionnaire deployment outside BADC for ENSEMBLES use cases.Suggestion, use a BADC deployment to fill ENSEMBLES information, and deploy elsewhere as a proof of concept it can be done. Charlotte, Bryan, Sébastien
