Case & Report DB DELTA Benchmark JRC USER Data Extraction Facility Model info Model results DELTA BENCHMARKING service Model performance Evaluation reports Deadline: end 2012
What has been done since Oslo meeting • The DELTA tool has been developed and released (about 20 users) together with the document “Delta concepts and user’s guide” (March 2011). • Within this document a template for reporting model performances has been proposed. • A questionnaire has been sent to SG4 participants to get feedback (10 replies) on: • DELTA • Template for reporting performance
Objectives of SG4 meeting • Get feedback and discuss the template for reporting model performances: • Content of the performance report • Links between Target and more “traditional” indicators (an analysis based on 3 datasets) • A “first-guess” for criteria/goals • Comparison with RDE • Observation uncertainty • Future plans • Deliverables for TSAQ review
About the template • Agreed: • Template format • Use of target as main indicator complemented by additional statistic indicators • The relation between target indicator and other indicators has been clarified • Use of quality bounds for the indicators is fine but more datasets are required to fix values for these bounds. • Performance criteria should not be geographically dependent • RDE is not providing much insight, is not sufficient and can be misleading.
About the template • Agreed: • Exploration mode is extremely important before producing the report • Selection of the stations to be used is crucial (consistence between resolution and station type SG1) • To do • To be extended to annual averages for NO2 and PM10 • Add info on AOT, SOMO, exceedances • Assess sensitivity of criteria/goals to scale, time averaging… • Assess sensitivity of target indicator to normalisation by standard deviation
About the template • To do as SG4 participants • Use DELTA on own dataset and provide it to the JRC. • Main concern: • Use of the quality objectives for policy
Future plans • Short term (2011) • Delta updates • Templates for annual averages • Medium Term (2012) • Development of the benchmarking service (completion of the procedure) • SG4 report on the interpretation of the performance report and fixing of criteria and goals, example on different datasets. • Extension of the analysis to other datasets
Deliverables for TSAP review • Benchmarking procedure • DELTA Benchmarking service ENSEMBLE (+ data prep. Facility) • Recommendations on: • Common template for reporting model performances as complement/substitute to the current RDE indicator. • Quality objectives (to be periodically revised)
