- experiment ID
- plotting area: 2 pre-defined maps are available over a larger North-Atlantic area and over Norway
- forecast time steps (example for the format is given in the macros)

Study the analysis
Available macros in the Analysis folder:
an_1x1.mv:
plots the analysis field in 1 panel for 1 to 4 variables over a pre-defined area, the analysis can be both the operational analysis and ERA5an_2x2.mv:
plots the analysis field in 4 panels for several variables over a pre-defined areaan_xs.mv:
plots cross-section from the analysis for several variables over a user-defined linemv_track.mv:
- a "drag-and-drop" macro, users has to drop it into a plot (e.g. an mslp plot) and it visualizes the track on top of the plot
- users can change the filename from where the track data are taken (
track.csv
is for track from 'observations',track_op_an.csv
is track from the operational analysis,track_ea_an.csv
is track from ERA5 data)

Please note that precipitation are available only in ERA5 data, but not in the operational analysis. |
Study the operational high-resolution forecast (HRES)
Available macros in the HRES_forecast folder:
hres_1x1.mv:
plots the HRES forecast in 1 panel for 1 to 4 variables over a pre-defined areahres_2x2.mv:
plots the HRES forecast in 4 panels for several variables over a pre-defined areahres_xs.mv:
plots cross-section from the HRES forecast for several variables over a user-defined linemv_track.mv:
a "drag-and-drop" macro, users has to drop it into a plot (e.g. an mslp plot) and it visualizes the track on top of the plot (track.csv
is for track from the HRES forecast)
...
Available macros in the Experiments folder:
exp_1x1.mv:
plots the experiment results in 1 panel for 1 to 4 variables over a pre-defined area, new variables are physics tendencies (see the macro header for guide)exp_2x2.mv:
plots the experiment results in 4 panels for several variables over a pre-defined areaexp_diff.mv:
plots the difference between two forecast fields for a given variable over a pre-defined areaexp_xs.mv:
plots cross-section from the experiment results for several variables over a user-defined line, new variables are physics tendencies (see the macro header for guide)exp_profile.mv:
plots vertical profile from the experiment results for several physics tendencies over a user-defined area or point

Please note that 3 macro work for physics tendencies: |
Forecast verification
Available macros in the Forecast_errors folder:
exp_rmse.mv:
plots the root mean square error (RMSE) curves of several experiments over a pre-defined area, analysis can be both the operational analysis and ERA5exp-an_diff.mv:
plots the difference between a forecast field and the analysis for a given variable over a pre-defined area, analysis can be both the operational analysis and ERA5

Please note that physics tendencies cannot be verified and precipitation can be verified only with ERA5 data. |
