Abstract
We developed a post-processing diagnostics package for output from regional weather or climate research models. The output data size of high-resolution models, even for regional studies, is considerably large due to the model complexity and integration of additional elements according to advances in computer technology. Therefore, the large amount of effort and time required for handling and analyzing such data seem to hinder the use of a high-resolution model for obtaining available and more detailed information. This diagnostics package supports and reduces workloads simultaneously performing necessary routine processing for analysis, comparisons to observations, and drawing figures, as seen in a web browser. The package was built for data analysis of long-term simulation outputs of the Altai Mountains area by using a regional climate model, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.
