The ADF is an automated diagnostic package aimed to be used to evaluate and benchmark simulations from CESM. Here, we describe diagnostics associated with atmospheric chemistry.
The ADF package can be downloaded at https://github.com/NCAR/ADF
Detailed instructions on how to use it can be found here: https://github.com/NCAR/ADF/wiki
Our current atmospheric chemistry diagnostic development plans/wishlist (view on GitHub: https://github.com/NCAR/ADF/issues/237) are:
| Diagnostic | Example Plot/Result | Github Issue |
|---|---|---|
1. Chemistry Tables Tables / Chemistry of ANN global budgets |
| https://github.com/NCAR/ADF/issues/236 |
2. Zonal Average comparisons between model runs. Vertical Contour Plots contour plots of DJF, MAM, JJA, SON and ANN zonal means | ||
3. Ozone climatology comparison to observations Profiles, seasonal cycles and Taylor diagrams |
| |
4. Column comparison to observations Lat/lon comparisons for |
| |
5. Vertical profile comparisons to observations (a) NOAA aircraft campaigns |
| |
6. Surface comparisons to observations (a) IMPROVE network |
|
WACCM ADF Goals (based on these comparisons https://github.com/NCAR/wawg_dev/issues/2):
- QBO
- Zonal Mean U
- Water Vapor
- Temperature: NH Polar
- Temperature: SH Polar
- Temperature: Dec Zonal Mean
- Temperature: June Zonal Mean
