ICT-DPFS
Welcome to the ICT-DPFS pages
ICT-DPFS is the management team for WMO's CBS OPAG on Data-processing and Forecasting Systems (OPAG-DPFS). These pages are intended to be used by the team for developing documents and plans for the ICT (Implementation Coordination Team).
Terms of Reference for the Implementation Coordination Team on Data-Processing and Forecasting System (ICT-DPFS):
(a) Identify new emerging requirements (input required from RAs and other bodies);
(b) Determine how GDPFS Centres can best contribute to fulfil emerging requirements;
(c) Participate in THORPEX planning groups as appropriate to advise on conditions and requirements for practical implementations in operational systems;
(d) Identify needs for training through workshops and other means of delivery;
(e) Coordinate the implementation of decisions by CBS related to GDPFS;
(f) Review of Expert Teams and rapporteurs and make recommendations to CBS concerning future work.
