Arctic Weather Ensemble Validation

Code and figures from model validation of ECMWF ensemble forecasts against NOAA Arctic Saildrone data documented in:

Yamane MT, Zhang C
Validation of ECMWF Ensemble Forecasts Against Saildrone Observations in the Arctic

which was presented at AGU Fall Meeting 2021 and is a product of Yamane's 2021 NOAA Hollings summer internship.

figures stores example figures used for the research poster

forecasts stores ECMWF ensemble forecast data with data retrieval, EDA, and processing scripts

saildrones stores saildrone data with EDA and processing scripts

Dependencies

• ecmwfapi
