This document focuses on the incorporation of user needs and requirements in climate community projects, emphasizing the collaboration between data partners and science stakeholders. It highlights strategies such as user interviews, surveys, and active participation in scientific and community meetings to strengthen engagement. The report also examines the dynamics of registered versus actual users, user data metrics, and the anticipated outcomes at the conclusion of the SciDAC-2 project, including operational systems and user support. Staffing levels and roles of participants in various projects are also discussed.

1) How to Incorporate User Needs/Requirements? Who? Data Partners and Science Stakeholders Collaborating projects (esp. climate community), GO-ESSP Broader user community How? User interviews, surveys Direct interactions (esp. stakeholders, science advisors) Attending scientific, community & project meetings Going forward… Continue with outreach More w/ WG2, WG3
8) Number of Registered vs Actual Users Info provided by Gary Strand for NCAR portal, for 1 April – 11 May 2009 942 unique users They downloaded 20,659 files (~1.5 TB) Ranged from 1 file/user to 2550 files/user Top 20 users by volume
7) What Will and Will Not be Done at the End of the SciDAC-2 Project? Based on endpoint envisioned in original proposal (On track) (Reduced or eliminated due to different between proposed and awarded budget) (Expected redirection) Operational federated system (metadata, users) for CMIP5 and US climate community Versioning, replication, bulk data movement, metrics, monitoring, product services, security Model/observation integration Rich client access Tighter integration of models and data User support, lifecycle maintenance Documentation, software packaging & deployment End-user workflow tools, methodologies Implement common server-side analyses & derived products GIS integration Reduced, but not eliminated Model intercomparison metrics
