Evaluate Air Quality Model against WOUDC sonde observations. WOUDC Evaluation ---------------- Provides infrastructure to evaluate model against WOUDC sonde network. Quick Start ----------- - Search for OzoneSondes and download "Data File URLs" format from woudc.org - save downloaded urls.csv in this folder - Edit Makefile and then type make - set YYYY in Makefile to the year for evaluation - set MODTMP to a strftime template for model (e.g., `/path/ACONC_%Y%m%d`) - Run `make` Prerequisites ------------- - Model output for comparison (CMAQ, CAMx, or GEOS-Chem) - Python (3 recommended) - pandas - numpy - matplotlib - PseudoNetCDF Steps ----- 1. Create a urls.csv file from woudc.org data search that points to all sonde files you want to download. 2. Download all sondes from URLs (`make dataupdated`). 3. Create a metadata file locations.json (`make locations.json`). 4. Update Makefile to point to your model data (manual). 5. Create NetCDF files (`make ncupdated`). 6. Create figures (`make -C figs`) Directory Structure ------------------- ``` ./ |- README.md |- urls.csv* |- Makefile |- extract_sondes.py |- filecleaner.py |- getlocs.py |- locations.json |- data/ |- mod/ |- obs/ |- figs/ ```
