WRF runs
-possible alternative domain configuration that is moved a bit more east
-1 day test run, sample namelist files, namelist input and outputs that differ from version to version
-working on reproducing Marikate's archive files
-special observations for verification
-merra2 reanalysis boundary conditions & nudging 
-using NNRP soil moisture - ncep/ncar reanalysis
-NAS only used 11% of allocation so far
-Colm has a call with John Henderson @ 11 to discuss Arctic test runs for 2016

Fluxes for WRF-CHEM
-working with Chris W's fluxes, ensemble mean, regridding
-next up temporal downscaling & pre-processor to get emissions prepared for WRF-CHEM (ncdf, headers, etc)
-our datasets are not standard, there are some tools like Brazilian prep-chem-source, Mike is using this with EDGAR as a model
-temporal downscaling, Yu Zhou does have method for generating 3-hourly fluxes & will post summer of 2016 ACT, she will post when she returns from vacation
-Lei will work on a simple strategy to modify Olson & Randerson downscaling
-Mike will get updated WRF configuration information to enable WRF-CHEM benchmarking
-our nominal goal is to have some runs to show at ACT science team meeting week of July 10

Met Data for WRF evaluation
-Boundary layer height data from CSD
	-WFIP2
	-INFLUX
-ARM Oklahoma
	-various datasets
-Sandip from PSU has vertical profile data -- Bianca will ping him
-contact Laura Bianco about radar profiles (or someone else)
	-fuzzy-logic algorithms, not sure what is routinely available
	-PSU used for INFLUX (maybe assimilated them?) -- Arlyn will follow up by email with 		Thomas L /Sha
-AER uses "prep-buffer" obs files that are used at NCEP, raobs, METARS, some aircraft data, ACARS profile data from MADIS
-thomas will summarize what they usually use before next meeting
-check in with Dave Turner about what other datasets might exist & data quality issues & can we use his format
-check in with Mark Govett about whether there are other sites besides Oklahoma that have mid-day radiosondes
-bianca will look at sample format file from John Henderson
-what Alaska flights might be useful to look at the Arctic in our new runs -- aircraft data from "NSA campaign", ATOM met data?
 

HYSPLIT on Theia:
-test cases:
	(1) all NOAA flasks 2007 - present, start with 2010
	(2) ACT 1 time period
-NAMS meteorology starts 2010-03-29 with a few missing files (e.g. 2010-08-05, 2010-12-02, 2010-12-03, perhaps others)
-Kirk is working on running all flasks starting with 2010, will probably run at least 2010 with both NAMS and NAM12
-Chris Loughner advises to run with version 956 and using the TKE parameterization (KBLT=3).  If possible it would be good to also run with Kantha Clayson (KBLT=2)


Isaac's summer project
-investigate which earth networks data are most complementary to our network
-can perhaps leverage and/or advance efforts to link Lei's and Ivar's approaches
-we should conserve prior uncertainty on some aggregated temporal/spatial scale when varying length of state vector and switching between multiplicative versus additive corrections
