Definition | Standard deviation (std) of O-B values over a defined period |
Calculation | For each observed variable, the std of all valid data is computed for every station. |
Valid data | Data not flagged as missing value (O-B is not NULL) |
Minimum required valid data | Daily: 2 valid values |
Math expression | Screenshot 2023-01-19 at 17.21.19.png , where Nj is number of valid data for variable j and the bar denotes the average as defined in Table 3. |
...
Definition | rmse of O-B values over a layer | |
Calculation | For each observed variable, the rmse is computed based on valid data for every station. | |
Valid data | Bias and std not NULL. | |
Minimum required valid data | 2 valid value. | |
Math expression | , where bias and std are the average and standard deviation of O-B departures over a vertical layer (Trop or Stra, in section 2.2) |
