Overview

This diagnostics package is constructed for supporting the diagnostics task of DOE's Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) project. The goal of this work is to develop a comprehensive diagnostics package that:

  • fully integrates the functionality of NCAR's AMWG diagnostics package.
  • utilizes most updated observational datasets, including remote sensing, reanalysis and in-situ datasets.
  • interfaces with diagnostics developed from different E3SM science groups
  • is flexible for user specified diagnostics and being configured for use by other climate models (i.e. in CMIP format).

Current State

Algorithm and visualization codes for lat-lon contour plots (Figure 1), polar contour plots (Figure 2), zonal mean 2d plots (Figure 3), zonal mean line plots (Figure 4), 2d joint histogram for COSP cloud simulator output (Figure 5), tables (Figure 6) and Taylor Diagrams (Figure 7) summarizing metrics, for climatology seasonal means, are implemented as core sets of this diagnostics package. More diagnostics harvested from E3SM v1 and v2 development are also supported. Example of a complete set of diagnostics can be found here

The package features built-in user diagnostics, by specifying user desired diagnostics regions and pressure levels for variables with the vertical dimension.

In addition to default model versus observation comparison, the package also provide support for model versus model and obs versus obs comparisons.
