Interpolation of total precipitation is affected by the changes to:

  • the land sea-mask processing
  • the default interpolation method
  • the distance computation and selection of nearest points
  • the change to the precipitation thresholds

HRES - O1280

Total precipitation for a 24 hour period  has been interpolated from the O1280 target grid to regular lat-lon grids at different resolutions using EMOSLIB and MIR. 

  • For the cases shown here, differences between MIR and EMOSLIB are generally less than +/- 25mm
  • In general, more than 99.5% of points differ by less than 0.5mm
  • The largest differences occur close to the coasts and in areas where the gradient of the field changes most rapidly

The plots show the differences with the contours chosen on a logarithmic scale to enhance the smaller differences.  Grid points where the absolute difference is greater than 25% of the maximum absolute difference are indicated with red (EMOSLIB greater than MIR) and blue (EMOSLIB less than MIR) filled circles.
