Types of plots
Speed bias density plots
Density plots of observation wind speed against background wind speed for different satellite, channel, pressure and latitude band combinations.
Map plots
Plots of statistics as a function of latitude and longitude for different satellite, channel, pressure level combinations. These highlight geographical areas where there is signifcant mismatch between observations and model backgrounds.
Zonal plots
Plots of statistics as a function of pressure and latitude for different satellite, channel combinations.
Vector plots
Vector plots showing the mean observed vector, mean background vector and mean vector difference for different satellite, channel, pressure level combinations.
