""" Grid-Stat: Analysis validation ============================== GridStat_fcstGloTEC_obsGloTEC_vx7.conf """ ############################################################################## # .. contents:: # :depth: 1 # :local: # :backlinks: none ############################################################################## # Overview # -------- # # This use case illustrates the use of grid_stat tool for the space weather domain. # It compares Total Electron Content for a GloTEC model run initialized with COSMIC-1 # radio occultation (RO) data to a GloTEC model run without such data. # # In this use case, the forecast is considered to be the run without COSMIC-1 RO data. # The observations are considered to be the run with COSMIC-1 RO data. # # This use case runs grid_stat for the first two forecast times of a # space weather event known as the St. Patrick's Day Storm (Mar 17, 2015). # # Novel aspects of this use case: # # * This is the first example use case to run grid_stat on a space weather model (GloTEC) # * Example of how to run with NetCDF input data which do not strictly conform to the Climate Forecasts (CF) conventions # * Example of using masks covering latitudinal bands of interest to the space weather community: equatorial region, mid-latitude region, and polar region # * Example of masking using the values of a quality flag which vary at each time step and grid point ############################################################################## # Version Added # ------------- # # METplus version 3.0 ############################################################################## # Scientific Objective # -------------------- # # Compare gridded forecast data from a run of the GloTEC model that includes # assimilation of COSMIC-1 radio occultation (RO) observations to gridded forecast # data from a GloTEC model run that does not include COSMIC-1 RO data. ############################################################################## # Datasets # -------- # # **Forecast:** NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) # GloTEC Total Electron Content (TEC) model run without assimilation of any COSMIC-1 RO data # # **Observation:** GloTEC TEC model run that assimilates COSMIC-1 RO data # # **Climatology:** None # # **Location:** All of the input data required for this use case can be # found in a sample data tarball. Each use case category will have # one or more sample data tarballs. It is only necessary to download # the tarball with the use case’s dataset and not the entire collection # of sample data. Click here to access the METplus releases page and download sample data # for the appropriate release: https://github.com/dtcenter/METplus/releases # This tarball should be unpacked into the directory that you will # set the value of INPUT_BASE.
