WG3 tasks

• T1. Model review, documentation, databases, etc.
  (a,b) (AUT)
• collect the database (episodes long-term
  assessments)
• define the format (MAQNet)
• populate the database (AUT, input from all)
• analyze the database types of the episodes,
  identification the existing information, gaps,
  climatology, types of climates, types of problems
  and applications (Spain (climatology), Italy,
  Finland)
• pre-requisite model submitted here is to be
  defined in the model database
• T2. Model examination (c,f) (MAQNet, Canada)
• Screen the database identifying the parts
  important for the model performance (?)
• Design and carry out additional sensitivity
  studies
• Synthesis of current and new information from the
  sensitivity studies.
