Short Description of Functionality

NCPOLO is applied in model calibration and validation. It corroborates validation illustration and skill scores combined with various export possibilities. With NCPOLO, a observation-prediction comparison can be performed quickly. For a successful application of NCPOLO, all measurements and model data must be available in pooled cf-netcdf.nc data. A time and space correlated difference, which can be interpreted by NCPOLO must be created with NCDELTA.


Remarks:

  • One should use BOE2NC for the preprocessing of non-pooled BOEWRT.DAT data
  • Measurements should be checked, as NCPOLO does not perform any plausibility checks on input data
  • Measurement names must be one-of-a-kind, as more than one measurement (e. g. multiple depths) are not possible to interpret yet.
  • Stations are named from the long_name of the NCDELTA variant
  • Model data can be provided in 2d and 3d
  • NCDELTA must be run with with_original_data = .true.
  • The station name will be used troughout illustrations and skill scores. Thus it is smart to chose a short name.
  • The processing of chunked data is usually faster, when using NCDELTA. One can chunk a cf-netcdf.nc file using NCCHUNKIE.
  • As the output can be defined in multiple languages, with more than 5 detailed times per tide gauge, the output mass can grow quickly to more than 1,000. Therefore, a user should only enable the illustrations, which are absolutely required.


Output of NCPOLO:

  • time series (complete, parts)
  • scatter plots (colored by density, uniform)
  • hodographs of current (colored by density, uniform)
  • box-whisker error distribution
  • statistics (33 parameters)
  • data export (per gauge)
  • statistics export (per gauge, all gauges)
