Summary:

GMAO's obs_diag branch will be merged in GSI trunk. UFO work can start before this using the BUFR to NetCDF converter from ESRL but the two formats need to be compatible. The idea for the immediate future is to extend/modify ESRL's converter generate the same NetCDF files as the GSI but with added metadata required for the UFO. The GSI solver should be able to start from the same file format.

Actions:

• Make sample NetCDF files available to the group and add link on confluence page ( Will McCarty or  Rahul Mahajan)
• Adapt ESRL's BUFR to NetCDF converter to the format of the sample files, for observation types already in the converter ( Scott Gregory)
• Make sample files available to MET and post-processing groups for further discussion about a common format (Yannick Tremolet)
