The varconfs.nl maps configurations to a variable. When producing forecasts for several variables it is common to use different configurations for different variables. This is
because some configurations do not make sense to be used for certain variables. For example, a configuration without a discrete probability scheme will not work well for precipitation.
The variable name is selected from variables.nl and the configurations from configurations.nl.
| Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| variable | std::string | Which variable from variables.nl? | |
| configurations | std::string[] | Which configurations from configurations.nl? | |
| metrics | std::string[] | Which metrics from schemes.nl? |
tutorial variable=T configurations=raw,kf,persistence,clim metrics=mae,bias,fcst,obs,pit,p11,sharp,ign,crps,p0
This produces raw, Kalman filtered, persistence, and climatology forecasts for temperature. The
metrics attribute specifies which verification schemes to use for the variable.
