Change Details - Hourly Model Visibility Statistics
19-Dec-2017 (beta)
Enabled Dieoff plots for groups of METAR stations. Also, used
scaling factors for data so we get full resolution for all
statistics. (No more guessed-at factors of 1000). Routine(s) changed: CurveParameters, DisplayFrame,
get_vis_stats.cgi, make_station_summary.pl.
14-Dec-2017 (beta and production)
- All beta changes moved to production
- Added the ability to input a comma-delimited list of METAR
stations as the 'region'.
- Discovered and fixed a problem with the production of the
stats. The order of Forecast vs Obs in the contingency table was
backward. In fact, the first letter of each item in the
contingency table is the category for the FORECAST, the second
letter is the category for the OBSERVATION. Thus, 'yn' means a
'yes' forecast, but a 'no' observation: a false alarm. For the
time being, if there is a '1' suffix on the
statistic, it has been corrected, or is corrrect. I left the old statistics
(without the suffix '1') so comparisons can be made.
- Routine(s) changed: CurveParameters,
get_vis_stats.cgi, make_station_summary.pl (new).
28-Nov-2017 (production and beta, on new server)
Queries for PODy/n and FAR were incorrect and have been fixed.
Routine(s) changed: get_vis_stats.cgi.
21-Feb-2017 (production and beta)
Added 10-mile visibility category. Routine(s)
changed: CurveParameters.java.
26-July-2016 (production and beta)
Added 2h persistence forecasts. Routine(s)
changed: on jet: update_persis.pl.
28-Sept-2015 (beta)
- Changed the background horizontal lines to light gray. Routine(s) changed: DisplayFrame.java.
- Fixed(?) the time axis to include the endpoint years if they
fit. Routine(s) changed:
gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.TimeAxis.java,
gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.LineKey.java.
16-July-2015 (beta)
Added options to look at the verification statistics out on 3-hourly
intervals out to 30 hours. Done in response to the RAP and HRRR forecast
lengths being extended. Routine(s) changed: CurveParameters.
- 10-April-2013 (beta)
- Many changes to make this consistent with the other statistics
displays. Added difference curves and the text/statistics window,
reformated the display. Also, set the
model
text
field to editable so you can directly enter your favorite
model. Also, the time window defaults to 7 days.
Routines changed: get_vis_stats.cgi, DisplayFrame,
SimpleLine2, CurvesControl, StatsDisplay, CurveParameters.
- Added several models now processed on zeus, including HRRR_dev{1,2},
RAP_dev{1,2,3}, Dev13z. (Some of these are not running currently.)
- 5-Jan-2012 (beta)
- The upper limit of the drop-down box for years now updates
automatically to the current year +1. Routine
changed: CurvesControl, lib.JYearBox.
- 26-Sep-2011 (beta)
- Added RR1h_dev2 model.
- 26-May-2011 (beta and production)
- Updated processing to look at multiple hours of model forecasts
each hour. This way, hours that are missed due to db load or late
model runs are more likely to be included. Also, added an
additional hourly run of 'get_vis_obs.pl -6' to catch
late-arriving obs (or compensate for otherwise failed runs) Routine(s) changed: (on jet:~amb-verif/visibility/beta/)
vis_driver2.pl, update_summaries.pl.
