Time Series AMDAR-Model Statistics Change Details

3-April-2019 (beta)

Got Phase = 'R' (Raobs) working again (for HRRR region, not RUC region). Routine(s) changed: get_amdar_ts_stats.cgi.

7-June-2017 (beta)

A java web start (browser-independent) version of this was created, and changes were made to support a java web start version of this: Models now come from getModels.cgi, and an initial time window of 1 month is determined by the java code rather than the calling script. Routine(s) changed: getModels.cgi (new), Welcome.cgi, StatsDisplay.

2-March-2017 (production and beta)

• All beta changes moved to production.
• Copied to the new web server.

15-April-2016 (beta)

• Hacked together an option to look at statistics against RAOBs in the RUC region only for models for which those stats are generated. To get these, choose RUC as the region, and 'R' (for RAOB) as the phase. Results are available for bias (forecast minus ob), OmF (ob minus forecast), RMS, N. (Model average and Ob average don't work.) Routine(s) changed: CurveParameters, get_amdar_ts_stats.cgi.
• Added stat: OmF (Ob minus Forecast), which is just the negative of bias. Routine(s) changed: CurveParameters

7-Oct-2015 (beta and production)

Made the legend and both axes selectable via a double-click, and cleaned up 'makejar' so all needed routines are signed.. Routine(s) changed: DisplayFrame, makejar.

27-Aug-2015 (beta and production)

Changed color of background horizontal lines from black to very light gray (Color(220,220,220)). Routine(s) changed: DisplayFrame.

28-May-2015 (beta and production)

Adjusted the time averaging to that average intervals always start with the start date that is input by the user. (Previously, they started implicitly with 1/1/1970, and the average time blocks could not be shifted.) Routine(s) changed: get_amdar_ts_stats.cgi.

24-Mar-2015 (beta and production)

Corrected processing of RAP_dev1 to accomodate the new rotated lat-lon grid. RAP processing on zeus will automatically recognize the new rotated LL grid. Routine(s) changed: on zeus.

20-Nov-2014 (beta and production)

• Added FIM_iso_4 (world-wide, 0.5 degree lat/lon) model. Routine(s) changed: on jet.
• Corrected a labelling error for RH. Routine(s) changed: DisplayFrame.

26-Aug-2014 (beta and production)

• Added GFS_OPS_iso (world-wide, 0.5 degree lat/lon) model. Routine(s) changed: on jet.
• Added 'HRRR' region, along with 'Full' region for all models. Routine(s) changed: get_amdar_ts_stats.cgi, DisplayFrame, CurveParameters.

18-Aug-2014 (production and beta)

• Added NAM_OPS_iso_221 model. Routine(s) changed: on jet.
• Corrected a problem with unmatched curves not always plotting if the start time differed between the curves. Routine(s) changed: get_amdar_ts_stats.cgi.

11-Aug-2014 (production and beta)

Added RAP_iso_130 for clearer comparison with RAP_OPS_iso_130 (since they're both on the 130 grid.) Routine(s) changed (on jet): gen_RR_acars_stats2.pl, get_RR_prs_file.pl,

16-Jul-2014 (production and beta)

• Fixed to not put out data from incomplete averaging intervals. If the actual data within an averaging interval fills (contiguously) less than 90% of the averaging interval, that averaging interval is set to 'missing'. Routine(s) changed: get_amdar_ts_stats.cgi.
• Signed the java applet.
• Added the HRRR_iso model.

6-Sep-2013 (production and beta)

Changed the date format used for Diurnal plots to DD-MMM-YY.

29-May-2013 (production and beta)

Added Diurnal as an averaging option. This option provides statistics by hour of the day for the entire time window specified. Routine(s) changed: get_amdar_ts_stats.cgi, DisplayFrame, CurveParameters.

28-May-2013 (production and beta)

Forecasts for 0h, 3,6,9,12h are now available in addition to 1h forecasts.

24-May-2013 (production and beta)

Corrected a 1h error in the grib file used to compare with the AMDAR obs. Previously, obs were compared with a forecast valid 1h later than the top of the hour nearest the obs times. Checking showed tht 7 day statistics differed very little because of this.

20-May-2013 (production and beta)

First version.
