Incorporate MDI met-gap filling tool #1731

Open ankurdesai opened 6 years ago

ankurdesai commented 6 years ago

Description

This tool: http://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/~MDIwork/meteo/index.php merges a met time series with data from ECMWF, after a regression based de-biasing. Interface works on uploading data and getting email link, but may be possible to use as a service.

Context

It's been a long term goal to be able to merge re-analysis and tower met for gap filling, beyond the more simple MDS method of metgapfill.

Possible Implementation

Send data to service, get data back, output, integrate as option in metgapfill

Could you check with them whether (A) they have a way to use this as a webservice (or would be willing to modify it to do that) or (B) whether they'd be willing to share the underlying code. For the latter I suspect they already have it in a repo somewhere, that we might be able to just write a wrapper around, but if not maybe they'd be willing to drop it into PEcAn.

That said, I wouldn't necessarily abandon our current development plans, since ultimately we'd want to merge met sources with uncertainty, which may not be possibly in their tool.

Will do. The big issue is that ECMWF data doesn't have simple interfaces for automated download, so I suspect they have local copy of the entire database at MPI.

This issue is stale because it has been open 365 days with no activity.
