Taylor Diagram Example 11

How to create a Taylor diagram with a color bar showing bias

An eleventh example of how to create a Taylor diagram given one set of reference observations and multiple model predictions for the quantity.

This example is a variation on the sixth example (taylor6) where now the markers are displayed in a color spectrum corresponding to their BIAS. A color bar is automatically displayed showing the correspondence with the BIAS values.

All functions in the Skill Metrics library are designed to only work with one-dimensional arrays, e.g. time series of observations at a selected location. The one-dimensional data are stored in arrays named: sdev, crmsd, ccoef, and bias. Each of these contain 1 reference value (first position) and 4 prediction values, for a total of 5 values. The plot is written to a file in Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format.
