Minutes from 28 May 2008

2008/05/28 CSEP meeting

Attendees: Yan, Phil, Danijel, Jeremy, John, Masha

1. Introducing Western Pacific testing region into the CSEP:
   • Masha changed Fortran code to read date and time from the file instead of making a system call:
     
     1. There are 41 differences over 1% in column #8 - will send summary to Yan
     2. Long-term and short-term forecast rates are under 1% of differences
   • Model acceptance tests are part of the CSEP build now, and pass
   • Danijel will respond to Warner with testing region rules:
     
     1. Will ask to split testing region in SW and NW Pacific regions
   • Danijel created ForecastML master templates for NW and SW Pacific regions, sent to Masha
   • Jeremy sent Java code that calculates bin area in km**2 - to be used to calculate bin rate in (EQ per day per degree**2) units
     
     1. Masha converted code to Python
     2. Jeremy will send reference data for the unit test
   • Tasks left to do:
     
     1. Conversion utility to populate ForecastML template with Yan's forecast rates
     2. Evaluation tests:
        • Prepare observation catalog:
          
          1. No catalog uncertainties
          2. Filter by depth and magnitude
          3. Jeremy will send definition of collection and testing areas to Masha
     3. Install and automate Jeremy's one-year model for NW and SW Pacific regions
   • Danijel will write GMT script to generate forecasts maps some time next week
   • John started working on web-site changes to accomodate new testing regions:
     
     1. California, SW Pacific, NW Pacific
   • Code freeze is scheduled for Monday, June 2, 2008
2. Hardware:

   • John has set up csep-cert-new server:

     1. CSEP is checked out and built

     2. John installed CruiseControl

     3. Have to run CSEP acceptance tests
