Trial smoothing for ITD #6

Closed tdjames1 closed 3 years ago

tdjames1 commented 3 years ago

Alex suggested some 9 pt smoothing of dewpoint temperature for ITD as GFS small variations are not reliable.

Tried out 9 point smoothing implemented in Python and a multipass smoother in wrf-python module. Results are fairly similar but the latter is a lot faster due to being implemented in Fortran.

Commit e088c42e3 implements the multipass smoother from wrf-python. Results seems reasonably good across different data samples but might need to refine the gradient masking parameter in some cases.
