## Description
1) VerPy Implementation: 
•	Migrate sandbox apps for loading the output files from METPlus into a SQLite database.
•	Create apps to aggregate results and produce standard graphs for visualisation.
2) Porting to Momentum partner sites:
•	Communication with each site to organise logistics and times for implementation
•	Initial work to create METPlus configuration files specific for each site, including local observations, to be done through a one-to-one week-long surgery via videoconfence in the site's local time.
•	Support to optimise configurations and resolve problems afterwards can be done via email or via videoconference at times convenient to all relevant sites.
•	Note that this task requires Partner sites to commit at least one week-person for the installation work and for the validation against existing objective verification systems.
3) Implement METPlus ensemble metrics:
•	Create METPlus Ensemble-Stats configurations, and apps using those
•	Create VerPy tasks to load the METPlus output and visualise the results
•	Port apps to partnerships sites
4) Seamless integration in CSET workflow
•	Create metadata to allow modify the configurations using the rose configuration editor.
•	Explore requirements, particularly files, in common with the main CSET workflow and whether the commonalities can be exploited.
•	Keep collaborating with main CSET development.
