Model to Observation Comparisons
Surface Evaluation
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.
Taylor - Taylor plot comparing one or more model results with one observation over the analysis window with options to specify the domain.
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.
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.
Spatial Overlay - Model results in contours with observational results overlaid in markers averaged over the analysis window with options to specify the domain.
BOX-plot - BOX-plot comparing one or more model results with one observation over the analysis window with options to specify the domain.
