Ocean_SST_Usecase 6

Difference between version 2 and version 1:

At line 0 added 1 line.
+ Use Case #6 - ANALYZE Matchup Data Sets - Alternate
At line 1 added 1 line.
+ Version - 1.0
At line 2 added 51 lines.
+ Summary
+
+ Obtain target minus comparison SST data set statistics from the match-up data base
+
+ The interface should provide flexible access to a range of analytical capabilities.
+
+ Input: A match-up data set generated by Use Case #3.
+
+ Output: Statistical representations of the target minus comparison data set SST values.
+
+ Preconditions
+
+ Triggers
+
+ Basic course of events
+
+ 1) Define refinement parameters:
+ - nearest neighbor,
+ - average
+ - variance
+ - min-max difference
+
+ 2) Refine match-up
+ - Calculate target, comparison SST-tuples (1 SST value for the target data set and 1 for point or line data sets or N-2 for N-2 field data sets); e.g., using nearest neighbor, average, bi-linear interpolation,...
+ - Calculate statistic associated with target and comparison match-ups; e.g., variance, min-max difference, skewness,...
+
+ 3) Define filter (or stratify) parameters:
+ - space
+ - time
+ - refined statistic
+ - target-comparison distance in space and time
+ - comparison data set
+
+ 4) Define statistical analyses;
+ - histogram differences
+ - mean and variance
+
+ 5) Apply statistical analyses on the refined match-up data set target minus comparison SST value; one difference for each of the N-2 data sets in the match-up element.
+
+ 6) Output plots, tables
+
+ Alternative paths
+
+ Postconditions
+
+ Business rules
