Mapping Verification

Mapping Error | Prediction Error

Mapping Error: Assessment of how well the output of the multivariate OI procedure agrees with the input data right at the instrument sites

  • Blue: Measured values
  • Green: Mapped values at the instrument sites

Comparison of mapped and measured data

********

Prediction Error: To estimate how accurate are the maps between the instrument sites. Measured currents and pressure were omitted as inputs to the OI procedure one site at a time, and their values were predicted in the resulting maps.

  • Blue: Measured values
  • Green: Predicted values at the instrument sites

Predicted error timeseries

This overestimates the actual errors because the data gaps created by the omissions are twice as large as the actual instrument spacings.
