Describe the Enhancement
The capability to read in International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) formatted ASCII files was recently implemented into the MET ASCII2NC tool.
We need to develop a use case that can demonstrate the use of the ISMN data ingest in ASCII2NC through an example model forecast verification.
We could develop a use case that reads soil temperature and moisture from ISMN data and verifies NOAA UFS output from sample GFS data, specifically the HR3 data available on NCAR HPC which is a prototype configuration for GFSv17, using the MET pointstat tool. It could be good to include quick-look plotting capabilities of the pointstat matched pair output as well, either spatially or as a scatter plot of model versus obs, or model error versus model value.
Use Case Name and Category
Model soil moisture and temperature verification using ISMN data

Input Data
UFS GFS prototype model data focusing on soil moisture and temperature output
ISMN data focused on CONUS
Acceptance Testing
Verify conversion of ISMN data using ASCII2NC
