Description

Systematic comparison of modeled precipitation against station observations and multiple gridded datasets using percent error calculations and spatial pattern analysis. Includes seasonal decomposition and elevation-dependent analysis.

Typical Equipment

  • SNOTEL precipitation observations
  • PRISM dataset
  • Livneh dataset
  • Newman dataset
  • xESMF Python package

Output Measurements

  • percent errors
  • spatial differences
  • seasonal biases
