These values can be used to assess the skill # of the prediction. Statistics are store as partial sums to save space and Stat-Analysis # must be used to compute Continuous statistics. ############################################################################## # Version Added # ------------- # # METplus version 4.0 ############################################################################## # Datasets # -------- # # **Forecast:** Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS) temperature # # **Observation:** Hurricane Research Division (HRD) Dropsonde 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. See :ref:`running-metplus` section for more information. ############################################################################## # METplus Components # ------------------ # # This use case utilizes the METplus ASCII2NC wrapper to convert full-resolution data (frd) dropsonde point observations to NetCDF format and then compare them to gridded forecast data using PointStat. ############################################################################## # METplus Workflow # ---------------- # # **Beginning time (VALID_BEG):** 2019082912 # # **End time (VALID_END):** 2019082912 # # **Increment between beginning and end times (VALID_INCREMENT):** 21600 # # **Sequence of forecast leads to process (LEAD_SEQ):** 0,6,12,18 # # The use case runs the UserScript wrapper (untar the dropsonde file and extract the files to a directory), # ASCII2NC (convert the ascii files to NetCDF format), and PointStat (compute statistics against # HAFS model output), which are the tools called in this example.
