ACTION ITEMS
ACTION ITEM:
A shortened version of minutes (action items) should be put on the WEB.
(Note: This has been done, action items from the September, 1997 meeting can
be found at URL=http://www.iris.washington.edu:8080/DMSSC/9_97_action_items.html)
ACTION ITEM: Add a glossary to package sent to DMSSC members that describes
acronyms.
ACTION ITEM: Enforce policy for writing and mailing field tapes every
10 days rather than every 30 days (which happens for some stations).
(Note: This need was conveyed to the IRIS GSN Standing Committee)
ACTION ITEM: We need to inform the user community that these channels
exist and evaluate how useful these continuous data are.
ACTION ITEM: RDSEED should write a "comments" file. Write an
evalresp-like program or script to read the comments and output a file showing,
for example, timing problems related to your data. This program could also change
the filenames of waveform files that are associated with timing problems to
alert the user to this problem. We should define severity levels for station
comments so this program could take different actions depending on the severity
levels.
ACTION ITEM: Periodically fix SEED headers in all FARM data with updated
information for Dataless SEEDS.
ACTION ITEM: Tom Owens, Tim Ahern, Tom McSweeney and Philip Crotwell
plan to work together to move forward on design of the Classes and their implementation
during the next year. We should retain a system architect to work with this
group. Other members of the Working Group on Seismological Classes should be
kept informed of the progress of this group and polled periodically for input.
(Note: This group of four people has begun making progress. 2AB, a system architecture
firm in Birmingham, Alabama has been placed under contract to provide object
-oriented expertise to IRIS)
ACTION ITEM: We should have a hands-on short course on Java at the IRIS
Workshop.
(Note: SUN will be teaching a one day course on JAVA on the Sunday after the
IRIS workshop. Due to the large size of the class, it will not be hands-on.)
ACTION ITEM: Bob will ask Diane Doser to write a Newsletter article about
DEL.
ACTION ITEM: Write Newsletter article on WILBER and the data channels
(eg. 40 sample/s data) and networks (eg. Geoscope, PASSCAL, etc.) that are available
at the DMC.
(Note: The last newsletter has such an article)
ACTION ITEM: Alan will poll potential users
to see how many IRIS members would use these data. In what ways will this improve
relations with SEG?
ACTION ITEM: Paul asked Tim to document
how much the data latency is increased by writing, mailing and reading tapes.
ACTION ITEM: Decide on a common format for
the phase picks and put them somewhere where they will be useful. Perhaps on
the WEB as raw picks and to the NEIC, ISC, and Engdahl for inclusion in routine
processing.
