Input specification

Once you have installed the data challenge and downloaded the data, you can now evaluate your maps. Although, you might want to check first that your sea surface currents maps respect a certain format. You can then scroll through the different metrics, checking the “Metrics illustration notebooks” showcasing the BFN-QG in the Agulhas region as an example.

To inform the metric velocity package you must write a json dictionnary for your current maps:

 
    {
    "data_type": "BFNQG",
    "label": "BFN QG daily",
    "path": "../dc_data/DC_example_BFNQG_Agulhas/maps_BFNQG/",
    "pattern": "BFNQG_WOC_Ugeo_daily_2019",
    "match": "BFNQG_WOC_Ugeo_daily_(\\d{4})-(\\d{2})-(\\d{2}).nc",
    "varu": "ug",
    "varv": "vg",
    "nlon":  "longitude",
    "nlat":  "latitude"
    }
