Deviation Analysis.
Abstract
The AFGWC deviation analysis program, which provides the mechanism for the quality control of meteorological observations and gridded constant pressure analysis and forecast fields, is described. Deviations between observed values and interpolated (in time and space) analysis and/or forecast values are used in the analysis program to detect significant errors in the analysis and forecast fields. These errors are displayed to a monitoring analyst by means of a number of standard AFGWC displays, which include window or hemispheric contoured charts and data lists. This procedure provides the monitoring analyst with capabilities to rapidly evaluate significant errors and to make timely decisions to correct these errors. (Author)
