Outline

Status

• Eleven case studies are available with eight available for online search, browse, and FTP download.
• The amount of data downloaded has increased over the last three months. The number of web hits is strong though it has decreased some during the summer.

Accomplishments Since the Last Summary

In the three months since the last Executive Summary, several things have been accomplished involving both case study data and building the community of users.

Data and Infrastructure

• COMET case study #011, Ft Collins Flood of 28 July 1997, was announced to users and is available with full online access through the CODIAC system.
• Several improvements were made to the software tools used for loading case study data into CODIAC during and after the loading of case study #011.
• Efforts also continue on the JAMIN CODIAC (JAva MaINtenance for CODIAC databases) project.

Community Building

• Announced the "Other Case Studies of Interest" web page to the user community.
• The COMET Case Study User Survey was completed and preliminary results are available.

Usage

For details on the usage statistics (including subscribers to the casestudies e-mail list, tape requests, data downloads, and web hits), see the Detailed Statistics page.

Past statistics are also available on the Case Studies Usage Statistics Page.

Future

The future will bring the development of more case studies and an increase in the number of case studies available through the CODIAC system. Currently, COMET Case #012, Gravity Waves (27 March 1994), is being loaded into the CODIAC system. We will continue our efforts to make the case studies easier to access and use by the user community. These efforts will include keeping our web site up to date and helping with enhancements to the CODIAC system.

In our continuing efforts to expand the user community, we will continue to give presentations and publish papers on this project. In October, Liz Page will present an "Update on the COMET Case Study Library", at the NWA Annual Meeting. Another paper has been submitted to the AMS meeting in January.
