Define a spinup period #114

Closed DavidHuber-NOAA closed 7 months ago

DavidHuber-NOAA commented 1 year ago

When running longer cold start experiments, it is common to specify the first 5-10 days as a spinup period. It would be convenient to add the capability of designating this period when running verif-global in both standalone mode and when run by the global workflow. Prerequisite for NOAA-EMC/global-workflow#1448.

Question here, the spin-up period would be a period of initialization dates, correct? I'm going to work on implementing this in standalone. Then we can address adding it in the g-w (after the spack-stack upgrade)?

This is something we want for stats only?

This work has been completed in https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/EMC_verif-global/tree/feature/spinup_period for RUN_GRID2GRID_STEP1, RUN_GRID2OBS_STEP1, RUN_PRECIP_STEP1, and RUN_SATELLITE_STEP1.

Is there a need for this is be in any of the other parts of EMC_verif-global? Like the plotting?

DavidHuber-NOAA commented 7 months ago

@malloryprow Sorry for missing your question. I believe that the interest is just in the stats generation. I think it's fine to leave it up to the user to determine when to start plotting.

Sounds good!

I merged this work into develop at https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/EMC_verif-global/commit/16b06da751ada551504442ada8b5140fb7744843. I'll close this issue as the spinup period works in the standalone.
