Study the analysis

Available macros in the Analysis folder are:

• 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 ERA5
• an_2x2.mv: plots the analysis field in 4 panels for several variables over a pre-defined area
• an_xs.mv: plots cross-section from the analysis for several variables over a user-defined line
• mv_track.mv:
  • a "drag-and-drop" macro, users has have to drop it into a plot (e.g. an mslp plot) and it visualizes the track on top of the original 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)

Study the operational high-resolution forecast (HRES)

Available macros in the HRES_forecast folder are:

• hres_1x1.mv: plots the HRES forecast in 1 panel for 1 to 4 variables over a pre-defined area
• hres_2x2.mv: plots the HRES forecast in 4 panels for several variables over a pre-defined area
• hres_xs.mv: plots cross-section from the HRES forecast for several variables over a user-defined line
• mv_track.mv: a "drag-and-drop" macro, users has have to drop it into a plot (e.g. an mslp plot) and it the macro visualizes the track on top of the original plot (track.csv is for track from the HRES forecast)

Study the user experiments

Available macros in the Experiments folder are:

• exp_1x1.mv: plots the experiment results in 1 panel for 1 to 4 variables over a pre-defined area, new additional 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 area
• exp_diff.mv: plots the difference between two forecast fields for a given variable over a pre-defined area
• exp_xs.mv: plots cross-section from the experiment results for several variables over a user-defined line, new  additional 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

Forecast verification

Available macros in the Forecast_errors folder are:

• 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 ERA5
• exp-an_diff.mv: plots the difference differences 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
