What is PSI?
The PRISM Support Initiative (PSI) was established in October 2004 as a distributed multi-institute structure to ensure that PRISM does benefit the community, i.e. the PRISM software is maintained, support is provided to the users, and the associated network of expertise (the PRISM Team) remains well coordinated. About 12 partners and associated partners provide the equivalent of 9 py/y. The Steering Board, composed of the partners significantly contributing to the PSI, approves a 3 yearly work plan. The coordination is composed of a Management Coordinator, a Technical Coordinator and the Chair of the PRISM User Group (PUG).
Importantly PSI also provides a forum to discuss and seek funding for new developments, like structured data archiving and dissemination, link with NWP and data assimilation (see Community).
Further information on the PSI can be found in the PSI Structure document (pdf) and in the PSI presentation.
