Table 2-02 Programme/network affiliation: add GDP to GOOS

[N-T-K]

Initial request

Scripps Institution of Oceanography's Lagrangian Drifter Laboratory is requesting the Global Drifter Program (GDP) be appended to Table 2-02 Programme/network affiliation under \Co-sponsored\GOOS\DBCP\. The purpose is to allow for proper attribution and organization of platforms and their data.

Amendment details

updated 17 July

Suggested notation	Suggested path	Name	Description
GDP	\Co-sponsored\GOOS\DBCP\GDP	The Global Drifter Program	The Global Drifter Program (GDP) operated by SIO's Lagrangian Drifter Laboratory (LDL), funded by NOAA, maintaining a global array

https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023.05.04-TT-WIGOSMD notes: Magali said they are still reviewing, because there could be a potential conflict;

[N-T-K]

@amilan17 @MKrieger29 Can the potential conflict be described? Dr. Luca Centurioni (PI of the GDP) may be able to offer additional clarifications to resolve any misunderstandings. The reassignment to FT2023-2 introduces significant delays that negatively impact the LDL's software development timeline for the GDP (e.g. WIS2.0).

[MKrieger29]

Following email exchanges with LDL, it appears that the new required program correspond to a merge of GOOS/DBCP/ 'SIO DB' and 'AOML'. We (OceanOPS) then propose to:

• Rename the program SIO DB to GDP (with the list of agencies and contacts as described in this issue). The program notation won't change: there shouldn't be major impact. @amilan17 @N-T-K
• The AOML DB code will be deprecated because the AOML DB buoys would have to be moved to the GDP program. That means that a batch of platforms will be migrated from one program to another. @fstuerzl : How can will deal with this in OSCAR?

[N-T-K]

@MKrieger29 To clarify what was discussed over email, in which you were on copy to, a merge is not required and would greatly impact backwards compatibility.

• Do not rename SIO DB to GDP. A new program is requested, please see the details above
• Do not move observing facilities to the new GDP program
• Do not deprecate AOML DB because it is not under our purview
  • To be clear, we have not and will not request actions that affect other programs not under our domain

Ok for addition of GDP. @amilan17 will I update the code table and create a pull request? Will I wait for you the create a branch? Thanks

[amilan17]

@amilan17 the branch is ready for you to update

[anthoninlize]

Thanks @amilan17 . Pull request created, for review https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/pull/484

I don't know if we should shorten the description, to be consistent and indicated by @joergklausen to me a while ago on another issue : https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/325#issuecomment-993480496

[amilan17]

https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023.06.01-TT-WIGOSMD notes: @anthoninlize please shorten the description and @amilan17 will review

[anthoninlize]

@N-T-K Would it be OK to change the description to : "The Global Drifter Program (homed at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography - Lagrangian Drifter Laboratory)"

[N-T-K]

Hi @anthoninlize, the following is preferred: "The Global Drifter Program (GDP) operated by SIO's Lagrangian Drifter Laboratory (LDL), funded by NOAA, maintaining a global array"

[anthoninlize]

Thanks @N-T-K , I updated it accordingly. @amilan17 you should see it through the PR. Thanks
