Notes

• Joerg opened the meeting and invited Belen to introduce herself, as well all of the team members;
• Anna noted that this is the last scheduled meeting for FT2025-1 proposals;
• other updates
  • Joerg noted that there is a logical model is being developed in a SWIG for the OGC OMS standard; Joerg noted that the I-Adopt community scheduled a meeting in March;
  • Gao noted that NASA is working on adopting WIGOS units and will resubmit a revised document; AGU proposals are due in March, and it would be good to have something there for WIGOSMD;
• Champika introduced an overview of the new issues for oceanographic proposals - see PPT: sea-ice-variables-for-OSCAR_TT-WIGOSMD_21nov2024.pptx
  • (Champika) What is your guidance regarding the same variable under different domains? (e.g., nitrous oxide for oceans and atmosphere); (Joerg) We should ensure that the variable describes the observed quantity and this is different across ocean and air even though they are the same chemical species; (Belen) Does it make sense to add the word ocean to nitrous oxide? (Joerg) The variable should be labeled as "Concentration of nitrous oxide in sea-water"; (Belen) Doesn't the definition provide this context? (Joerg) sometimes using the same name with two different definitions doesn't make sense, e.g., Silicate; (Gao) In other words, Silicate is a chemical, but a detailed observed quantity is more specific- this follows the I-Adopt approach; (Anna) determining the exact phrasing of labels and definitions are part of the process after a proposal is introduced to the team and before asking for WMO approval;
• The team reviewed the following proposals for FT2025-1 -- #438
