Scientific interpretation of Fig.5 (spectral analysis, no-tide vs tide) #1

Open stephanieleroux opened 4 years ago

stephanieleroux commented 4 years ago

(general question:) Not clear to me how far you intend to go into scientific interpretations/comments of the diagnostics figures here in the github repo?

Example with Fig.5 on the spectral analysis page :

So, do those questions fit in the github issue section here? Or should i just ask you guys in private?

(PS: In any case: really cool to see this eNATL60 repository and all the tools and diags explained and opened. I like the concept very much! )

Glad you like the concept of this repos !

From my perspective, questions on the results of the comparisons with obs. should indeed be formulated as GitHub issues. The issues can then host discussions that may eventually lead to modifications of the README.md files (+other files if needed).

The idea is to use the functionality of GitHub to gradually build a shared understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of this simulations. But we want do do so through a process that is open and visible to all.

Thanks for your question which helps clarifying how this repos should be used !

Regarding the seasonality of SSH wavenumber spectra in the model and in observations, I think the plots can be rationalized if we keep in mind that there are three distinct geophysical signals that vary seasonally at fine scales (two of them being explicitly represented in the model) :

Re your questions :

We may think about including these explanations in the README.md if you think it is appropriate.

Thanks again for your questions !

ok, thanks for the explanations/comments! No strong opinion on whether it is appropriate or not to add it in the readme. If it is clear for all the future Readers that they can browse the issue page to find scientific discussions/interpretation, then it might be enough, i guess?
