QBO mvm generation bug?

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Currently, there is no clean way to generate QBO mvm plots. This was brought to my attention because I was curious about the QBO in conversation with @whannah1.

The problem is that most mvm logic relies on climo-type files, but QBO must use time-series-type files. So, we either need to automatically correct the reference/test file paths or we can allow the user to set different file paths for different subtasks/plots.

Hi @mahf708 thanks for submitting this issue. I'm wondering if this is a duplicate issue but in the zppy repo: E3SM-Project/zppy#471
For e3sm_diags itself, for model vs model comparison, the users can set different file paths: example

qbo_param = QboParameter()
qbo_param.reference_data_path = "ref model name"
qbo_param.test_data_path = "test model name"

I believe that's exactly it!!

Sorry, I didn't check the zppy repo and I looked at this more than a month ago.

Also, this is exactly how I fixed it to generate the above plot!
