Intensity values are compared to NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall intensity estimates for each station for quality control.

King, Rielly Kaveggia requested to merge rking/FlowAlert:noaa14 into main

  • Added code to scrape NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall intensity estimates for each station.

  • Added 3 new flags to process_data which use these precipitation estimates:

    • --qc-summary / --no-qc-summary:
      • show quality control summary on the threshold summary and show the average rainfall recurrence interval on the plot for the corresponding rainfall image image
    • --qc-filter-storms
      • filter out any storms with rainfall intensities which are estimated to only occur once every X years or greater, where X is the number you specify. for example, --qc-filter-storms 100 will exclude any storm with a rainfall intensity that is estimated to only occur once every 100 years, and only keep storms that are estimated to occur more frequently than once in 100 years.
    • --qc-filter-stations
      • filter out any station with a rainfall intensity that is estimated to only occur once every X years or greater, where X is the number you specify. for example, --qc-filter-stations 100 will exclude any station with a rainfall intensity that is estimated to only occur once every 100 years, and only keep stations with intensity values that are estimated to occur more frequently than once in 100 years.
