  1. Community of Practice Richard B. Rood August 12, 2013

  2. This workshop • This workshop is a beginning • This workshop is an invitation • The Core Team started by “listening” both in general and in specific • Need for evaluation, indices, provenance, translation • Doable, advancing • Then core team tried to build a foundation • Built from community resources • Targeting community participation • Single path through the problem • Invitation now is to • Decide if we want to build from this foundation • Development of a community of practice

  3. Types of Translational Information Applications Global Regional Local Basic Data Digital Information Indices Downscaled GIS Formats Seasonality Assessments IPCC NCA Local Narratives What has happened? What will happen? What are the impacts? Guidance Judgment Model Output Fact Sheets Summaries Images Figures Observations Quality Assessment Homogeneity Uncertainty Descriptions Risk Assessments

  4. NCPP in Information Chain Data-Able End User Federal State Local Applications Global Regional Local Digital Information Indices Downscaled GIS Formats Temporal Spatial Basic Data Evaluation Boundary RISA CSC USDA Guidance Judgment Fact Sheets Summaries Narratives What has happened? What will happen? What are the impacts? Guidance Judgment • Strength / Weakness Methods & Datasets • Obs Datasets • Process-based • Uncertainty • Quality Control Model Output Images Figures Projects CORDEX Assessments NCA Observations Quality Assessment Homogeneity Interpreters Education Researchers

  5. Going into meeting • Evaluation framework • Structured of problem solving • Templates for problem • Templates for information

  6. Extension of capabilities Observational Data Station data Downscaled Reanalysis Underlying GCMS Appropriate Information Projections Seasonal Ensembles • Infrastructure • Interface • Documentation

  7. Community, Partnerships, Collaboration IRI RISAS CSCs USDA CLIVAR • Infrastructure • USGS • JPL • ES-DOC • CORDEX

  8. Bunch of NCPP Material Follows

  9. How to deal with complexity • In the past decade community approaches have emerged as a strategy to iterate, to organize complexity, to evolve standards. • This is different than, say – • Building portals for community science • Building tools for the community • Building collaboratories

  10. NCPP Strategy and Projects • Workshop in 2013 • a focal point and an integration of all NCPP projects • one of a sequence of workshops that focus the overall evaluation activity and strategy of NCPP NC CSC Downscaling Metadata Downscaling Evaluation Climate Indices NCPP Software Environment Workshop 2013 Interagency Community Integration

  11. Executive Board • Lisa Goddard (Chair) • Shawn Carter • Kim Hall • Phil Mote • Eileen Shea • Linda Mearns (Representing the Climate Science Applications Team) • Ricky Rood (Chief Scientist, Representing Core Team) • GaliaGuentchev is appointed as Executive Secretary

  12. Climate Science Applications Team • Focus: • Downscaled climate information and its use • Science-based evaluation • Uncertainty • Guidelines • Membership: • K. Dixon (GFDL), K. Hayhoe (Texas Tech), R. Horton (Columbia Univ.), K. Kunkel (NCDC; NC State), X.-Z. Liang (Maryland), L. Mearns (NCAR), J. Winkler (MSU), A. Wood (NWS/CBRFC) • Current Activities: • Provide scientific foundation for 2013 workshop on “Evaluation of Downscaling Techniques” • Future: • Evolve CSAT as an advisory and decision-making component of NCPP that oversees broad-based NCPP applications 13 13

  13. Personal Motivations • Access to data – student experience • Evaluation • Scientists, skeptical scientists, science managers, end users • Knowledge Systems • Iterative co-development, co-generation • Values • Transparent, Contextual, Traceability, Objective …

  14. The long elevator speech • Anchored in evaluation of digital data • climate predictions and projections • climate observation • Emphasis on translation • Guidance • Accessibility • Narrative • Infrastructure to support • Access to information • Evaluation • Values such as transparency

  15. This is hard • Problem of complexity • Existing capabilities – fragmented unmanaged • Changing all the time • Problem of language and definition • In climate-science community • Across interface of climate-science and everything else • Problem of iterative co-development

  16. Had to make some decisions

  17. Community

  18. Evaluations • Indices • Local

  19. NCPP Figure • Translation Figure

  20. Partners/ Collaborators • Technical • Institution • Guidance • Process-based narratives • Guidance on data choice • Evaluation Summaries

  21. Community • Governance
