Interpolation of total precipitation is affected by the changes to:
- the land sea-mask processing
- the default interpolation method
- the distance computation and selection of nearest points
- the change to the precipitation thresholds
HRES - O1280
Total precipitation for a 24 hour period has been interpolated from the O1280 octahedral reduced Gaussian grid to regular lat-lon grids at different target resolutions using EMOSLIB and MIR.
- For the cases shown here, differences between MIR and EMOSLIB are generally less than +/- 25mm
- In general, more than 99.5% of points differ by less than 0.5mm
- The largest differences occur close to the coasts and in areas where the gradient of the field changes most rapidly
The plots show the differences with the contours chosen on a logarithmic scale to enhance the smaller differences. Differences smaller than 0.1% of the field range are not shown. Grid points where the absolute difference is greater than 25% of the maximum absolute difference are indicated with red (EMOSLIB greater than MIR) and blue (EMOSLIB less than MIR) filled circles.
