Action Items from Fall 2009 DMSSC Meeting
October 5-6, 2009
IRIS DMC, Seattle, WA
Action Item 1: Send out a bulk e-mail to IRIS, figure out what tools people use (lots of people use SOD and BREQFAST because they can be automated), and form a committee of most vocal community members.
Responsible: Cochran
Action Item 2: Produce an EOS article by the next DMSSC meeting. Need to find out if board needs to approve the final draft.
Responsible: Koper
Action Item 3: Clarification of naming of horizontal channels needs to be finalized. Clarification is provided below.
Responsible: Walter
Clarification:
Currently, there are two distinct conventions in use for the horizontal channels. In the past, it has been the goal to name channels that are more than 5 degrees away from a true north-south/east-west orientation with a ??1, ??2 channel name. Those that are within 5 degrees have had a ??N, ??E channel name.
We are proposing to simplify this convention by utilizing the ??1, ??2 convention for all the horizontal channels. Horizontal channels should be named such that the 1-2-Z directions form a left-handed coordinate system.
This change would not include data from the past. The changes would be implemented over time as station configuration changes can be made.
Action Item 4: The committee would like an update on the data that has been purged due to a lack of metadata as well as an update on data without metadata that remains at the DMC. Report expected at the next DMSSC meeting.
Responsible – Trabant
Action Item 5: Nominations for 2 new members should be presented to the IRIS BoD. This should include names of first choice as well as alternates.
Responsible: Koper
Action Item 6: Ad-hoc committee (Data products) and Creager will develop a new direction for UW.
Responsible: Koper
Action Item 7: DMSSC approved the proposed carryover usage. A high priority item was to proceed with the Oracle upgrade using available unspent funds in core and USArray budgets. Recommendation should be taken to the IRIS BoD.
Responsible: Koper and Ahern
