US EPA AMET GitHub Repository

• Support added for CAPMON
• New AQ analysis scripts (See the AMET User Guide for more details.)
  • New version of Kellyplot to plot multiple simulations by NOAA climate region (AQ_Kellyplot_region.R)
  • New version of Kellyplot to plot multiple simulations by season (AQ_Kellyplot_season.R)
  • Removed one of the existing version of the Kellyplot as it was reduntant with the new Kellyplots that were added (AQ_Kellyplot_multisim.R)
  • New leaflet (interactive) version of the model-to-model AQ spatial plot (AQ_Plot_Spatial_MtoM_leaflet.R)
  • New model-to-model desity scatter plot (AQ_Scatterplot_mtom_density.R)
  • New species plotly (interactive) time series plot (AQ_Timeseries_species_plotly.R)
  • New multi-species plotly (interactive) time series plot (AQ_Timeseries_multi_species_plotly.R)
• New AQ analysis script options (aq-analysis-input-files)
  • Increased number of individual projects that can be specified from 10 to 20
  • Kelly plots have been updated better choose default plot ranges
  • Added ability to further customize Kelly plots through input options (min, max, interval)
  • Added function to only use common sites between multiple projects (useful for comparing data from two different sized domains)
• Updated AQ batch scripts to incorporate new analysis scripts
• Updated AQ_species_list.input file to:
  • properly map species in the updated AMET observation files (specifically related to EC/OC)
  • include additional species
  • include CAPMON
• Added option to rename an existing AQ project while retaining existing data
• Updated AQ observation files (see notes in AMET_Release_Observation_Files_Readme.txt)
• See AMETv5.1 FAQ for all MET bug fixes and updates. Key updates are listed below.
  • Added forecast and model initialization hours as database fields for the case of WRF or MPAS model forecast evaluations
  • NOAA SURface RADition (SURFRAD) Network option for real or near-real-time modeling (BSRN has a curation delay of months) + autoFTP of those data
  • QC settings of allowable observed variable range and maximum model-observation difference configurable via R input files
  • Compatibility with limited area MPAS grids
  • All WRF projections work in model-to-observation matching routine (e.g.; lambert, polar stereo., mercator and lat-lon)
  • Meteorology and Chemistry Interface Processor (MCIP) compatibility
  • Added new master site metadata file to map dynamically with MADIS observations that includes state, country and full site description
  • PRISM precipitation evaluation updated to leverage R "prism" package to automatically aquire daily, monthly and annual raster data because old text data distribtuion is no longer provided. A HTML-based Leaflet visualization of precipitation is produced. Precipitaton statistics are computed and output in a text file.
  • "Wrapper" analysis script developed that can drive spatial, summary, daily, upper-air and radiation analysis for monthly, seasonal, annual, regional subsets of data. Allows users to run any or all of these detailed analysises using a single highly configurable script (e.g., for model evaluation protocol)
  • Wind vector statistics are added to wind speed and direction statistics for daily surface, spatial surface and upper-air analyses
• Numerous minor bug fixes and error checks in both AQ and MET codes for more robust operation
