evaltools

Abstract

The Python package `evaltools` is designed to assess surface atmosphere composition prediction models against in-situ observations. This package provides several tools to compute model scores and plot them. It is used for evaluation of air quality models from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS).The concept of `evaltools` is to compare observations (measured over time at fixed lat/lon locations) with simulations (wich may have a forecast horizon of several days) computed over a period of several days. Therefore, it can be suitable for other data types such as AERONET data, but will not handle data with a vertical component.Up-to-date source code and documentation are available at https://github.com/UMR-CNRM/EvalTool
