Description of the AEROCOM-idltools
Purpose
Rapid data analysis to perform
- analysis of Model 2d fields
- Model vs. ground data comparisons
- Model vs. model comparisons
- Model vs. satellite data comparisons
Features
- Read model data of 50+ models/experiments
- Daily, monthly, 3hrly data
- Calculate daily or monthly data, if necessary
- Do the same plots for several models at once
- Variables are fully configurable
- Filter data (e.g. location, height, land, sea, etc.)
- Read obs data (e.g. AERONET, EBAS, AEROCE, EBAS, EARLINET, etc.)
- Read satellite data (MISR, MODIS)
- Extract model data at ground station locations
- Plot model 2d fields
- Plot time series of model vs. ground data
- Plot model vs. model data at ground station locations
- Scatter plots, Taylor plots, Histograms
