Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for MetOffice/CSET: Delivered two new model diagnostics (air frost presence and lightning presence) with spatial and time-series analytics, expanded plotting recipes and configuration to support frost and lightning analytics, and fixed rainfall presence metrics with corrected configuration. Implemented configuration and metadata hygiene updates (rose-meta.conf, conf.example) and improved data loading/plotting pipelines to enable robust model evaluation. These efforts enhance forecasting verification, enable richer analytics across models, and improve data quality controls for end users and stakeholders.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (MetOffice/CSET): Delivered a new winter-diagnostics capability and advanced workflow readiness for domain-level analysis. Key feature: AIR_FROST_PRESENCE_DOMAIN_TIMESERIES diagnostic variable designed to capture air frost presence within a domain, including its description, requirements, and type to support enhanced winter weather analysis. The work is evidenced by two commits aimed at both implementing and integrating the diagnostic into the workflow. No major bugs fixed this month; efforts focused on feature delivery and workflow enablement. Business value: enables domain-scale frost presence analytics, improving winter-weather decision support and data products for forecasting. Technologies/skills demonstrated: diagnostic template design, domain timeseries concepts, workflow integration planning, and disciplined version control across the MetOffice/CSET repository.
