This section defines the specification of various metrics in LVT. This file is specified in a space delimited column format. Each row consists of the following entries:
Name: Name of the metric
Use option: determines whether to use this metric. When enabled, the metric will be computed through the duration of the evaluation and a final file will be written out. Acceptable values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
do not use the metric |
1 |
use the metric |
Time option: specifies whether to compute the metric in time, at the specified stats output intervals. Acceptable values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
do not compute the metric |
1 |
compute the metric |
Temporal output: determines whether to write (gridded) metric files at the specified stats output intervals. The “Time option” must also be enabled when this option is enabled. Acceptable values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
do not write gridded files |
1 |
write gridded time files |
Extract time series: determines whether to extract (ASCII) time series files for the metric, at each sub-domain specified in the time series location file. Acceptable values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
do not write ASCII files |
1 |
write ASCII time files |
Threshold: specifies the threshold values to be used in computing the metric. Note that this is used only for the categorical metrics. Two values must be specified. The first value is the minimum threshold and the second values is the maximum threshold.
Compute average seasonal cycle: determines whether to generate the average seasonal cycle of the metric (for each domain specified in the time series location file). Acceptable values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
do not generate |
1 |
generate seasonal cycle |
Compute average diurnal cycle: determines whether to generate the average diurnal cycle of the metric (for each domain specified in the time series location file). Acceptable values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 |
do not generate |
1 |
generate diurnal cycle |
