New Use Case: TCDiag Seasonal Analysis Use Case

[jvigh]

Describe the New Use Case

The goal of this use case is to provide a use case for EMC that illustrates an end-to-end workflow that analyzes pre-existing real-time diagnostic runs for an an entire season accomplishes the following steps:

• Run TCPairs to generated matched pair output for a season's worth of diagnostics output
• Stratify the diagnostic values by intensity
• Stratify the intensity performance conditioned by errors (e.g., track) or by a thresholded diagnostic value (e.g., low vertical shear)
• Generate summary plots for a retrospective evaluation of model performance:
  • spatial plot of the stratified errors
  • display the distributions of diagnostics by storm, by season, by model
  • performance diagram (stratifying by diagnostic value of shear low/med/high or for different models)
  • scatter diagram (?)

NOTE: This is an elaborated use case that will be housed in the TCDiag-Realtime repo.
