Outcomes & Discussion1) Data collection, archiving, dissemination, data sharing policy

• Data sharing chart to be elaborated by the HyMeX ISSC• OMP possible candidate for managing SOP/EOP data base and

meta-database, and IPSL possible candidate for managing the HyMeX satellite data base (data extraction, on the HyMeX domain, production of specific products,... IPSL was in charge of that action for AMMA): to be discussed within the ISSC

2) Need to reinforce WG5 :• Heavy precipitation and flood + droughts + water usage in

relation with land use) (inputs from WG2 expected)• Plinius conference (September, 7-11, 2009 - Barcelona):
