An updated version of the H-K Table was published today.  Version 1.2 corrects time variables that were present in the Version 1.1 pdf but not the json files; adds a variable for upward_air_velocity; tweaks attributes for a few existing variables (see the Lineage section for details); and adds license and citation information.  Many of these changes came about due to discussions associated with last week's hands-on workshop in Stockholm; thanks to all who helped in this fashion!

The YOPP Supersite-Model Intercomparison Project (YOPPsiteMIP) is linking observations from selected land-based observatories and ship-based field campaigns with high frequency co-located outputs from numerical weather prediction models during the Special Observing Period during the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP, May 2017 to June 2019).

Information from the CNR Antarctic YOPP catalogue is now harvested into the YOPP data catalogue.

Information of MOSAIC datasets are now routinely harvested from PANGAEA and ingested in the YOPP Data Catalogue.

Harvesting issues with NIPR-ADS are now solved and harvesting is back to normal.

Information on datasets generated in the context of the Polar Amplification Model intercomparison Project (PAMIP) is currently under ingestion in the data catalogue. The first datasets to be ingested are the APPLICATE datasets. A list of relevant datasets is available at https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/CMIP6/ArchiveStatistics/esgf_data_holdings/PAMIP….

Meteo-France has a FTP site with all YOPPSiteMIP data produced. Further information is provided in the attached PDF document. These data will eventually be included in the YOPP data catalogue, but in the mean time they are also available directly from the FTP site.

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has committed data from the Navy Earth System Prediction Capability (Navy‐ESPC) to YOPPSiteMIP datasets. the data are directly available at https://thredds.met.no/thredds/catalog/alertness/YOPP_supersite/navy-es… and addition of discovery metadata to the YOPP Data catalogue is in progress.

Detailed information on the YOPP SiteMIP activity is available at https://www.polarprediction.net/key-yopp-activities/yoppsitemip/. The focus of this information is how to provide YOPP SiteMIP data, observations and model output, to the YOPP data portal. These data will be hosted by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and served through a THREDDS Data Server enabling OPeNDAP access to the data.

From the YOPP news section at https://www.polarprediction.net/news/:

MET Norway and the YOPP International Coordination Office are publishing the first of a series of video tutorials on how data can be searched in the YOPP Data Portal. YOPP maintains this metadata portal as an overview archive for Arctic and Antarctic data generated during the Year of Polar Prediction. The community is invited to find YOPP data from a specific area or time to use for their various purposes.
