v5 v6 1 1 = Example 3. Calculating the bias of an ensemble forecast 2 2 3 In this example we will calculate the bias of the multimember forecast loaded 4 [http://meteo.unican.es/trac/wiki/EcomsUdg/RPackage/Examples/continentalSelection in the previous example]. 3 In this example we will calculate the bias of the multimember forecast used in the [https://meteo.unican.es/trac/wiki/udg/ecoms/RPackage/examples/continentalSelection in the previous example], but this time considering the monthly aggregated data, which dramatically reduces the size of the data loaded. 5 4 6 We first load the reference observations for the spatio-temporal domain previously chosen: 5 First of all, we load the same data as in the previous example, but using a monthly aggregation. To this aim, first a daily aggregation is specified (`time = DD`, aggr.m = `min`), and then the aggregation function for the daily data is specified to obtain the monthly aggregation via the `aggr.m` argument: 6 7 7 8 8 {{{ 9 9 #!text/R 10 ex2.obs <- loadECOMS(dataset = "WFDEI", var = "tasmin", lonLim = c(-15,35), latLim = c(32, 75), season = c(12,1,2), years = 2001:2010) 11 print(object.size(ex2.obs), units = "Mb") # 60.6 Mb 10 ex3.cfs <- loadECOMS(dataset = "CFSv2_seasonal", 11 var = "tasmin", 12 members = 1:2, 13 lonLim = c(-15,35), 14 latLim = c(32, 75), 15 season = c(12,1,2), 16 years = 1991:2000, 17 leadMonth = 3, 18 time = "DD", 19 aggr.d = "min", 20 aggr.m = "mean") 12 21 }}} 22 23 Some information messages will appear on-screen indicating the steps: 24 25 {{{ 26 [2015-05-15 14:18:08] Defining homogeneization parameters for variable "tasmin" 27 [2015-05-15 14:18:09] Defining geo-location parameters 28 [2015-05-15 14:18:09] Defining initialization time parameters 29 NOTE: Daily aggregation will be computed from 6-hourly data 30 NOTE: Daily data will be monthly aggregated 31 [2015-05-15 14:18:12] Retrieving data subset ... 32 [2015-05-15 14:24:31] Done 33 }}} 34 35 36 Note the difference in size of the daily-aggregated data of the [https://meteo.unican.es/trac/wiki/udg/ecoms/RPackage/examples/continentalSelection in the previous example] (35.1 Mb) as compared to the new monthly-aggregated data size (1.2 Mb): 37 38 {{{#!text/R 39 print(object.size(ex3.cfs), units = "Mb") 40 }}} 41 42 We the load the reference observations (WFDEI dataset) for the spatio-temporal domain previously chosen, using the same monthly aggregation (note that in this case the [http://meteo.unican.es/trac/wiki/udg/ecoms/dataserver/listofvariables original data are daily], so there is no need to specify a daily aggregation): 43 44 {{{#!text/R 45 ex3.obs <- loadECOMS(dataset = "WFDEI", 46 var = "tasmin", 47 lonLim = c(-15,35), 48 latLim = c(32, 75), 49 season = c(12,1,2), 50 years = 1991:2000, 51 aggr.m = "mean") 52 }}} 53 {{{ 54 [2015-05-15 14:31:16] Defining homogeneization parameters for variable "tasmin" 55 [2015-05-15 14:31:16] Defining geo-location parameters 56 [2015-05-15 14:31:16] Defining time selection parameters 57 NOTE: Daily data will be monthly aggregated 58 [2015-05-15 14:31:17] Retrieving data subset ... 59 [2015-05-15 14:31:39] Done 60 }}} 61 62 13 63 14 64 This is the map of the observed mean minimum surface temperature observed for DJF 2001-2010: … … 16 66 {{{ 17 67 #!text/R 18 plotMeanField(ex 2.obs)68 plotMeanField(ex3.obs) 19 69 }}} 20 21 22 [[Image(image-20140902-182518.png)]] 70 [[Image(image-20150515-143320.png)]] 23 71 24 72 Note that WFDEI provides data for land areas only, and its spatial resolution is finer than CFS (1º vs 0.5º). In order to compare both datasets, it is first necessary to put them in the same grid (i.e., to interpolate). We use bilinear interpolation to this aim, using the `downscaleR` function `interpGridData` in combination with the `getGrid` method, useful to recover the parameters defining the grid of a dataset to pass them to the interpolator: … … 26 74 {{{ 27 75 #!text/R 28 obs.regridded <- interpGridData(gridData = ex2.obs, new.grid = getGrid(ex2), method = "bilinear") 76 obs.regridded <- interpGridData(gridData = ex2.obs, 77 new.grid = getGrid(ex2), 78 method = "bilinear") 29 79 }}} 80 30 81 31 82 Note the warnings reminding us that the extent of the input grid is wider than that from CFS.
