- Coupled team had a severe need for a package to produce "top-ten" diagnostics. We produced this tool in response to their request.
- We designed it to be familiar to you, look-and-feel is similar to AMWG. But some improvements:
- Unlike AMWG, this package is python-based and modular.
- You can more easily add new plots, code to produce these can be written in python, but other languages can also be used if package can call/link to them.
- currently using matplotlib (in python)
- can use other things such as NCL if willing to maintain these on an "opt-in basis"
- Extensible to include tier 1B
- quick and easy to run, has validation, reproducibility
- conda-based (runs in conda python environment)
- Questions?
- Rich: Do you envisage this as a single script that could control all the Tier 1b collections? Could see some benefits, but also some drawbacks to doing it that way.
- Kate: could use this as a top-tier script that calls other things, or the other way around, or run it within a larger outer shell as one of a number of other things.
- Kate: hopefully people will work on improving components (e.g. the web page)
- Rich: graphics: how good are they at doing non-standard plots? Is the functionality really there in python?
