Gridpp a is post-processing tool for gridded weather forecasts. It consists of a library of commonly-used methods and a command-line tool that applies these methods to forecast fields in NetCDF files.

Gridpp is written in C++ but offers python and (and soon R) bindings to the functions in the library. The tool is used at MET Norway to produce operational weather forecasts for Yr (https://www.yr.no).

Features

  • Methods for downscaling a forecast from a coarse grid to a fine grid
  • Methods for calibrating the downscaled grid based on a set of parameters
  • Computationally efficient neighbourhood methods to compute neighbourhood min, mean, max, and any quantile.
  • Data assimilation using optimal interpolation (OI) to merge observations and gridded forecasts (deterministic or ensemble).
  • Efficient data structures for nearest location lookup in a vector or grid of locations.

This wiki includes documentation and examples of how to use the gridpp command-line tool and the python interface to the gridpp library.
