concerns of others (lose-win) Competing -
Power oriented, pursuing own concerns at the

• Some things observed when starting 12 Planet
• Allow at least 3 weeks for collaboration to
  become effective
• Do not put blocks in but use timing instead.
  Remember as you create Grid forecast keep in mind
  that the grids are used for
• Graphics
• Point and click forecasts
• Animation
• Forecasters are afraid to go to extremes
• HPC discussion in chatroom at 12Z
• View ISC grids from start. Dont wait until the
  end to use ISC

20

• Look at breakpoints especially when collaborating
  POPs and
• Cloud Cover. If different, then look in between
  for differences.
• Concentrate on days 1 to 3. Days 4 through 7
  should only be changed
• when really necessary.
• Give me a reason to change
• Nudging vs. new forecast
• Geopolitical boundary forecasts not thinking
  gradients but absolutes.
• Dont do the forecast and leave, stay in the chat
  room
• Avoid wheeling and dealing

21

• Potential problems
• Local models
• Collaborating and changing first 6 hours.
• If you are updating, send a chat message before,
  not
• after changes
• You are responsible for discrepancies, not just
  your forecast
• Dont just say Id like to change, give reasoning
  but not a novel
• or dissertation
• HPC is monitoring, you can chat with them
• If you are running late, say so
• During the shift briefing, include strategy of
  grids
