[stevehadd]

What worked well?

Key Points

• User Forum / Surgery
• Come op with common research problem as vehicle for developing pyearthtools
• Nowcasting Working Group?
• How to be more effective at providing support for online participants
  • Screen sharing and demos were useful

Gabriel

• coming from a background of not being confident with coding
• Good - working with pyearthtools which makes them simpler
• CDB - be clearer about prerequisites e.g. github stuff
• Going Forward - ingest kscale model data into pet for nowcasting

Avinash Chalamuri

• Good - The way pet prepares data directly for training, makes it easy to try dfifferent sorts of models
• Next Steps - pet user forum

Amarjyothi

• Good - pipelines very helpful,
• Further work - Include some verification/metrics stuff in the pyearthtools
• Further work - end to end representation of experiment in pyearthtools, including verification, feature importance
• Next Steps - looking to adopt for nowcasting
• Next Steps - looking to build model (train) combining data sources, including some data sources
• Next Steps - user forum, nowcasting working group

Hyunhun Guk

• Good - getting started
• CDB - How to make pyearthtools environment easier to set up
• CDB - continued debugging of tutorials, check tutorials on specific platform
• next steps - installing on KMA and test withy KMA datasets
• next steps - continue to test on JASMIN

Michael Baidu

• Good - getting started with pyearthtools
• Good - step by step guide in tutorials
• CDB - Make the tutorials a bit more prominent?
• Next Steps - user forum
• Next steps - continued familiarity
• Next Steps - recommended to nowcasting project in Ghana

Josh Dale

• Good - enjoyed get to know how pyearthtools
• Good - enjoyed optimisation work
• CDB - hoped to do more of the nowcasting stuff
• Next Steps - PyEarthTools for dissertation

Question

• Anemoi / PyEarthtools - disucssion of how they might fit together in future

Actions

• make 1 day of data for all sources in a tutorial
• feed back nowcast forum idea to momentum partnership
• feedback user forum idea to tennessee
