Plenary session

• Vesa Nietosvaara : How to bring modellers and forecasters together –Eumetcal plans

• Reporting back on outcome of HMG-CSSI meeting

• Reporting back on outcome of session 1 : Data Assimilation

• Reporting back on outcome of session 2 : Dynamics

• Reporting back on outcome of session 3 : Physics and Performance issues

• Reporting back on outcome of session 4 : System issues

• Reporting back on outcome of session 5 : Probabilistic forecasting and LAMEPS

• General discussion, date and place of next WK/ASM meetings
  The next WK/ASM meetings will be hosted by Netherlands (De Bilt, spring 2009). 2010 meetings will take place in an ALADIN country (Morocco, Poland or Romania) : decision will be announced at EWGLAM meeting in Madrid this year.
  The format of the meetings will be changed to avoid parallel sessions : HMG/CSSI on Monday, meetings from Tuesday to Friday noon with only half a day dedicated to separate consortium agenda and a shorter final session with less time for report of thematic sessions in order to have all sessions in plenary format; evening working groups or consortium meetings/discussions could be added.
