Calendar for 2006

March 2006	First version of case study paper (C. Peugeot & JL Redelsperger)
April 2006	Initialisation, forcing and validation data-base building, including data cross-check Actions : To gather all available atmospheric data (including GPS, Soundings, Surface stations,(O. Bock, SA/IPSL, N. Asencio CNRM) To gather all surface and hydrological data (including radar data, rainfall, soil moisture, heat and water vapour fluxes, wind, temperature, humidity, radiative budget) for the period (coord tbd) Build fields to force hydrological models : (tbd) To gather satellite data : all available data concerning atmospheric water cycle (cloud top, tracking, water vapour, ...) from the AMMASAT database. (F. Fierli, ISAC) To gather surface moisture information: ALMAS and Satellite estimates will be gathered (A. Boone CNRM)
