[jira] [Created] (CLIMATE-47) precipFlag attribute within the Model
class needs to be refactored
Cameron Goodale created CLIMATE-47:
--------------------------------------
Summary: precipFlag attribute within the Model class needs to be refactored
Key: CLIMATE-47
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-47
Project: Apache Open Climate Workbench
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: rcmet
Affects Versions: 0.1-incubating
Reporter: Cameron Goodale
Assignee: Cameron Goodale
Fix For: 0.1-incubating
There is a precipFlag attribute within the Model class. This has been used for computation and unit conversions.
As the code is changing we need to handle this attribute better. We can either get rid of it entirely, or decide on better rules for handling this information.
If anyone else has experience working with precip data and has suggestions for way to handle this let us know.

RE: [jira] [Created] (CLIMATE-47) precipFlag attribute within the

Posted by "Kim, Jinwon" <jk...@atmos.ucla.edu>.
The current version does not need "precipFlag". This flag has been used to specify unit conversion with the CRU3.0 precipitation data which (kg/m2/s) is different from other datasets (mm/day); this step in the current version is done via metadata information and is transparent to users. Thus, I suggest dropping "precipFlag" in the current version.
We may reinstate "variableFlag" to point specific variables (e.g., temperature, cloudiness, shortwave radiation, etc.). For example, I use "precipFlag" in my hydro prototype because bias correction of precipitation is done differently from temperature. This can be included in a future version with clearer view on future expansion for supporting specific users.
