2008/11/26 CSEP meeting

Attendees: Yan K., Fabian E., Danijel S., Masha L.

  1. csep-op:
    • There were failures for test dates of 2008-10-13 and 2008-10-15 due to Matlab license problems:
      1. Being currently reprocessed
  2. Double Branching Model from Anna Maria for Western Pacific testing regions:
    • Masha introduced one-year-models-V9.1 forecasts groups for SW and NW Pacific regions on csep-cert server:
      1. Includes Yan's, Jeremy's and Anna Maria's one-year forecasts
      2. Invokes N, L, R, ROC, Molchan and ASS tests
      3. Crontab jobs generated Anna Maria's DBM forecasts with start date of 10/20/2008 with runtime for the region:
        • 10 hours to generate NW Pacific forecast
        • 22,5 hours to generate SW Pacific forecast
  3. Upgrade of New Zealand testing center to CSEP V8.10:

    • Acceptance tests passed for CSEP code distribution (except for ANSS data retrieval tests: see Trac ticket https://intensity.usc.edu/trac/csep/ticket/117), NZ specific codes

    • Dispatcher process is failing due to the remaining tasks to be done:
      1. Danijel will work on GMT script for forecasts maps
      2. Grid shifting for ForecastML template - Danijel is working on it
  4. Wish list from Jeremy:
    • Test date of July 1, 2008, was reprocessed on csep-cert for RELM Mainshock groups:
      1. N, L, and R tests
      2. Declustered catalog is used as observation catalog
    • Masha generated L-test data to test it's stability:
      1. RELM Mainshock and Mainshock/Aftershock groups
      2. Staged observation catalog per model as provided by Jeremy
  5. ETAS one-day model installation within CSEP:
    • Max sent an email that installation will be postponed due to issues he discovered in his own input catalog
    • Max sent a list of ANSS problem events:

      1. Danijel suggested to create a Wiki page with description of all discovered catalog problems: http://us.cseptesting.org/CatalogProblems

  6. S("space") and M("magnitude") evaluation tests to be added in V9.1, but not invoked in operations until V9.4:
    • Jeremy sent Masha Matlab code and acceptance tests reference data
    • Masha will introduce Python classes for the tests
  7. Masha implemented fixes for ANSS catalogs, working on acceptance tests for:
  8. Global testing:
    • Data source: CMT
    • No collection or test area
    • Danijel is working on defining ForecastML template:
      1. 1.0 x 1.0 degree cells
      2. M5.95 (or M6.0) and above
    • Jeremy and Danijel will submit two flavors of Triple-S model for testing
    • Yan posted global forecast and map on his web-page:
      1. Uses 0.5 x 0.5 degree cells
      2. Goes up to 75 degrees for display purpose
        • Danijel asked if forecast can go up to 90 degrees for data purpose
  9. Masha will send email to Yan summarizing rules for one-day and five-year models within California:
    • If Yan agrees, will test KJSS model along with existing models
  10. Danijel would like to incorporate Japanese codes within CSEP during Hiroshi Tsuruoka-san visit in December
