../_images/plot_grp1.timeseries.PM2.5.2019-08-01_12.2019-08-11_12.all.CONUS.png

Timeseries - Plot comparing one or more model results with one observation (y-axis) versus time (x-axis) over the analysis window with options to specify the domain, time (local or UTC), and averaging window.

../_images/plot_grp2.taylor.OZONE.2019-08-01_12.2019-08-11_12.all.CONUS.png

Taylor - Taylor plot comparing one or more model results with one observation over the analysis window with options to specify the domain.

../_images/plot_grp3.spatial_bias.OZONE.2019-08-01_12.2019-08-11_12.all.CONUS.airnow_rrfs_diurnal_fires.png

Spatial Bias - Difference plot of model - observations averaged over the analysis window with options to specify the domain. Defaults to average, but users can also optionally plot percentiles.

../_images/plot_grp6.spatial_bias_exceedance.OZONE_reg.2019-08-01_13.2019-08-31_12.all.CONUS.airnow_cmaq_oper_exceedance.png

Spatial Bias Exceedance - Difference plot of model - observations for the number of exceedances greater than the regulatory standard within the analysis window with options to specify the domain. This only works for regulatory calculations (regulatory = True) for variables “OZONE” and “PM2.5” and units must be in ppbv or μg m-3, respectively, after the unit_scale option in the control file is applied. An exceedance occurs when MDA8 ozone is greater than 70 ppbv or 24 hour averaged PM2.5 is greater than 35 ug m-3.

../_images/plot_grp4.spatial_overlay.OZONE.2019-08-01_12.2019-08-11_12.all.CONUS.airnow_rrfs_diurnal_fires.png

Spatial Overlay - Model results in contours with observational results overlaid in markers averaged over the analysis window with options to specify the domain.

../_images/plot_grp5.boxplot.OZONE.2019-08-01_12.2019-08-11_12.all.CONUS.png

BOX-plot - BOX-plot comparing one or more model results with one observation over the analysis window with options to specify the domain.
