v2.0.0
Every seed's output changes from 1.x.
- Dry spells: a semi-Markov rain chain; the year's longest dry spell is now 3% short of the stations' (6% in 1.x).
- The wettest days: Weibull amounts tied to how deep in the rain the day is; the 95th percentile is no longer light.
- Fronts: a day's temperature follows the rain on it and around it, warm before the rain and cold after.
- New fields:
snow_depth(snow lies, melts in a thaw and settles as it ages),gust,fog,solar_radiation, and thefoganddrizzleconditions. Sunshine is fitted on CRU sunshine records. - One world per seed:
weather_request::spatial, on by default, makes nearby places share their weather, with correlations that fall with distance as between weather stations.spatial = falsegives each cell its own weather, as in 1.x. - JSON always has
"units".
A single day costs about 4x 1.x at a random place, more in winter in cold places (the snow season so far is simulated); a year's series about 1.5x. See Data and Method for the fits, the validation and the known shortfalls.
