Updates from last week

FoRTE
- Lab group presentation: done.
- More detailed look at 10-year run results: Made progress.
- Background reading and paper outline: Made progress on outline, but not a ton of reading.
Hector
- Coded up a PEcAn-like parameter sensitivity analysis (which generates plots like this). Useful for better understanding of exactly what PEcAn does, and provides a nice way to analyze and interpret Hector results.
Other
- SERC GCREW meeting was useful. I'm definitely interested in doing some SERC-related work.
- Multivariate traits paper: Submitted to Ecological Applications! (Monday)

Goals for this week

FoRTE
- Modify PEcAn to separate model pre- and post-processing. As a first pass, just kill the workflow after submitting model runs, since I don't need any of the other steps.
- 10-year structural and parameter uncertainty analysis. Good test of the system, and gives an opportunity to develop code for working with these outputs, drawing figures, etc.
  - I'm leaning toward dropping N limitation from the structural analysis, based on (a) ED's bad implementation of it (per Mike's comments), (b) Brady's findings that suggest it doesn't matter much, (c) it reduces the computational burden by 3-4x, and (d) it makes for a more straightforward narrative about shade tolerance / competition for light.
- Work on paper
Other
- Review and tweak IALE presentation
- Prepare short (5-minute) intro talk for NCAR/NEON meeting
(Time-permitting) Hector
- Add partitioning parameters (f_nppv and friends) to Hector R API, and add them to drake analysis.
- Parameter values from literature, and general background reading
