This website tracks the performance of the OGGM mass balance calibration across multiple model versions. This allows us to easily see the effects of certain model changes on the mass balance parametrisation of OGGM.
It works but I have some issues with it:
Building the website is a bit fragile. It broke a couple of times because it couldn't handle changes in the OGGM versioning scheme.
Most model changes do not affect the mass balance results. There should only be new plots/pages if significant changes occur. All versions in between could be listed at some place.
Plots could be interactive
Results of every version are stored as pickle file. Convenient but prone to errors in the future.
It's not necessary to have OGGM knowledge as this will not really touch model specific parts but rather processing of the data, making nice plots and building a simple website.
I can also provide some of the existing data pickles to simulate results from different model versions. If a new data storage format is chosen, these old files must/should probably be translated anyway.
Who can help?
I wrote the existing repo. But there are people with way more experience in building websites or producing nice plots.

What will we need?
Right now everything is done within this repository: https://github.com/OGGM/mb_crossval
