New metrics/diagrams

• -m nncsec to show the normalized Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient
• -m kge to show the Kling-Gupta efficiency index
• -m murphy to show the Murphy diagram
• -m bcdecomp to show a Brier score decomposition diagram

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug in -m quantilescore
• Fixed bug in labeling of points in ROC curves (thanks to Jan Verkade)
• Fixed bug in axis labeling in -m bsrel (thanks to Jan Verkade)

• Fixed bug in labels in Roc diagram
• Fixed window manager run-time error for certain matplotlib versions

New features

• Uses cartopy instead of matplotlib Basemap for map generation. Basemap is deprecated and not developed anymore.

Changes to command-line options

• -proj is no longer supported

New metrics/diagrams

• -m spread to show the spread between two quantiles

Fixes a few runtime errors for python3

Fixed runtime error in -m fss

New features

• Support for reading OpenDAP files, meaning that verif can read files directly from a remote server supporting OpenDAP (for example thredds <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/tds/>_).
• Read arbitrary fields (such as pre-computed CRPS) from file
• Added axes: -x leadtimeday, -x timeofday, -x dayofyear, -x monthofyear, -x dayofmonth, -x day
• Added -a to annotate graphs (put text next to each data point)
• Added -x obs and -x fcst to plot scores as a function of observed or forecasted value
• Allow subsetting of forecasts initialized at certain times of the day (-tod)
• Added -type rank, -type impact, and -type mapimpact
• Added -obsrange to subset based on observed values
• Accept vector input for -ms and -lw
• Added python 3.7 support (thanks to @tommz9 <https://github.com/tommz9>_)

Changes to command-line options

• -ls no longer accepts marker specification, e.g. o-. Markers must be specified separately using -ma (e.g. -ls - -ma o).

New metrics/diagrams

• -m bssrel Brier skill score, reliability component
• -m bssres Brier skill score, resolution component
• -m autocorr to show autocorrelation of error in space or time
• -m diff to show difference in aggregated statistics
• -m fss to show fractions skill score
• -m pithistslope to show slope of the pit histogram
• -m pithistshape to show the shape of the pit histogram (e.g. U-shape)
• -m ratio to show ratio of aggregated statistics

Changes to metrics

• Renamed -m pitdev to -m pithistdev

Minor bug fixes and improvements:

• honor -ms and -xlim options in some of the diagrams.
• bug fix in -m discrimination
• added --config flag
