Overall Strategy The COSMO model will be supported and optimally developed to operate on the short to very-short range and with very high (km-scale) resolution. STC, January 2006 data assimilation @ the very high resolution description of surface information exploit satellite information on the local scale high resolution and short range ensemble prediction system COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 3

Present stage of implementation • More commitment in PP’s • Improvements: PL can require ‘educated FTE’ PL be more strict in acknowledging contributions, SPM to review attribution of FTE’s SPM to make an overview including names and contributions / checking contributions Some tasks can be required to be ‘core task’, i. e. >=0. 5 FTE PL’s to report once per 3 month on possible problems, SPM to critically review COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 6
