The Atmospheric Model Evaluation Tool (AMET) (Appel et al., 2011) is a suite of software designed to facilitate the analysis and evaluation of predictions from meteorological and air quality models. AMET matches the model output for particular locations to the corresponding observed values from one or more networks of monitors. These pairings of values (model and observation) are then used to statistically and graphically analyze the model's performance.
Latest Version: AMET version 1.6
What's New in Version 1.6
New features in AMET version 1.6 include:
- Beta version of a website interface for producing analysis plots
- Move from using RMySQL to RMariaDB to better align with current implementation in R
- Support for AirNow ozone and PM2.5 data
- Support for Ambient Monitoring Technology Information Center (AMTIC) Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) data
- Support for PurpleAir PM2.5 data
- Support for numerous additional AQS VOC species
- Batch scripts updated to incorporate new analysis scripts
- Updated processing for AMON data to properly adjust for travel blank (when available) or use a fixed value for the blank correction (value depends on year)
- Updated the AMON input data file to include a Parameter Occurrence Code (POC) based on the replicate value to avoid records being overwritten when loaded into the database
- Added ability to use user-defined regions based on site ID and region name in the batch processing script
- Numerous minor bug fixes
- New analysis scripts:
- AQ_Summary_Panel_Plot.R
- AQ_Plot_Spatial_animation_ggplot.R
- AQ_Plot_Spatial_animation_plotly.R
- AQ_Histogram_plotly.R
- AQ_Kellyplot_region_plotly.R
- AQ_Kellyplot_season_plotly.R
- AQ_Kellyplot_plotly.R
- AQ_Scatterplot_density_ggplot.R (enhanced)
- AQ_Scatterplot_density_plotly.R
- AQ_Timeseries_bysite.R
- AQ_Timeseries_bysite_plotly.R
- New analysis script options:
- Added popup time series option to AQ_Plot_Spatial_leaflet.R script. Combined multiple plots into a single plot with selectable metrics
- Added option to aggregate sites by parameter occurrence code (POC) and common grid cell
- Added support (and example scripts) to use many traditionally AQ only scripts with the MET side of AMET
