Expand description

Compare a wind profile against a measured sounding.

Metrics are sampled at the sounding’s own levels: speed RMSE, direction RMSE (circular), and mean absolute speed error per altitude layer (1, 3, 6 and 10 km boundaries, then the rest). Layers bin on the sounding’s altitudes, which are above sea level, not above ground: for a station at 287 m the first layer spans only 713 m above ground.

Structs§

LayerError
Mean absolute speed error within one altitude layer.
ValidationReport
The comparison result.

Functions§

validate
Sample profile at every sounding level and compute the metrics. The profile is read at the sounding’s altitudes, above sea level, so its levels must be in that datum too.
