Useful scripts

In some cases, it can be useful to verify forecasts for accumulated values. For example, your file may contain hourly precipitation values, but you wish to verify 24-hour accumulated precipitation forecasts and observations. To do this, a script has been provided (in ./scripts/) that will create accumulated values for any window length.

scripts/accumulate my_file.nc my_accumulated_file.nc -w 24

Verif can then be run on the new file. Both deterministic forecasts and observations have been accumulated. However, since not enough information is available in the files, the probabilistic forecasts are not included in the output file.
