Distributions of Daily Meteorological Variables

distribution plot

Plot the distribution of daily data for a season using different datasets, seasons, range of years, and locations. You can compare 2 different distributions. You can also input a value to see its probability for the empirical distribution and the SGS assumed distribution.

A subset of GHCN daily station data is available. All stations cover at least 1950-2016. Some stations are available from 1875. See a map of global station coverage for this subset.

Output includes:
  • Plotted empirical distribution(s) of standardized values (bar chart)
  • Plotted fitted SGS estimates of standardized values (line plot)
  • Statistics of distribution(s).
  • SGS fit coefficients.
  • NetCDF file(s) with statistics, PDF bins/values, and time-series..
