2021 DTC UFS Evaluation Metrics Workshop | METplus Metrics Gaps
METplus coverage
Statistics: Approximately 99% of the statistics associated with the prioritized fields across all applications are currently available in METplus.
Diagnostics: Approximately 70% of the diagnostics associate with prioritized processes are currently available in METplus
Reference Sources: Approximately 62% of the reference sources (observations, analysis, climatologies) have been demonstrated within METplus.
The METplus team is working to compile an cohesive inventory of statistics and diagnostics at this time. For now, we refer you to the METplus (look at Use-Cases) and MET Users' Guides (Appendix C) for reference.
