[Mitgcm-support] Warning: Correction to current meter comparisons

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

HyperNews notification of new message.  See:

There is a problem with "unpacked" TAO current meter data files in
directory /escher8/medea/tlee/TAO/currents/UNPACK[1] ; the "unpacked"
time series lag the raw data in /escher8/medea/tlee/TAO/currents[2] by
some 60 days.

New comparisons figures based on raw data have been generated to replace
those in the parent[3] message. The new figures show significantly
smaller standard deviation difference and higher correlation coefficient
for both GCM/data and Kalman filter/data comparisons than previously
reported. In addition, the Kalman filter estimates are, on average,
closer to observations than the unconstrained GCM estimates: there is
improvement at (0N,110W) and (0N,140W), but not at (0N,165E).
