  11. Gap Filling Comparison Analysis

  12. Basic Principle • Keyfile: Artificial Gap Flags • Golden File - fragmented: • Superimposition • Comparison of Observed NEP and Predicted NEP:

  13. Statistical Metrics • Bias Error • Root Mean Square Error • Correlation Coefficient p - predicted NEP o - observed NEP

  14. Daytime/Nighttime data Weighted ALL data Analysis Predicted versus Observed • Half-hourly basis • Daily sum basis for full day artificial gaps

  15. Challenge of the Analysis 5 artificial gap length scenarios (single hh - 12 days) • 10 permutations • 3 subsets: day, night, all • 12 golden sites • 19 submissions • 15 statistical metrics: RMS, R2, Bias, Daily Sum, normalized, benchmarked, … 513,000 comparison results! (see selection on posters in foyer)

  16. Some Comparison Findings

  17. RMSE and R2:Half-hourly Basis Performance of gap filling techniques from bottom • MIM, MDV, UKF_LM, NLR & Others • 3 ANNs leading Daytime Correlation Coefficient R2 Nighttime Root Mean Square Error (gCm-2)

  18. Daytime Nighttime Root Mean Square Error (gCm-2) RMSE and R2: Half-hourly & Daily Sums Daytime Daily sum basis Daytime • R2: 0.8 - 0.95 • RMSE: 1.0 - 1.8 gCm-2 Nighttime • R2: 0.75 - 0.9 • RMSE: 0.5 - 1.0 gCm-2 • Very good filling performance for daytime and nighttime data Techniques: • MIM, Others, ANNs leading Correlation Coefficient R2 Nighttime Root Mean Square Error (gCm-2) Half-hourly basis Daytime • R2: 0.6 - 0.8 • RMSE: 2.5 - 4.0 gCm-2 Nighttime • R2: 0.2 - 0.4 • RMSE: 1.5 - 2.5 gCm-2 • Good filling performance for daytime but not for nighttime Techniques: • MIM, MDV, UKF_LM, NLR & Others, 3 ANNs leading

  19. DailySum Bias per Site Year:Medium Gaplength, ALL Bias Techniques Medium gap length (1.5 days): Bias of <0.07 gCm-2 per filled day

  20. DailySum Bias per Site Year:Long Gaplength, ALL Bias Techniques Long gap length (12 days): Bias of <0.2 gCm-2 per filled day

  21. Annual Sum Error Estimate Assumption: • representative choice of golden sites • good technique (red stars) • Error estimate on the annual sum Annual Sum Error • Small to med gaps: <0.07 gCm-2 per filled day equivalent • Periods of longer gaps: <0.2 gCm-2 per filled day equivalent • Quality of long gap filling critical

  22. Calculation Example Example for average file with 35% gaps: • 18% small to medium gaps • 18% periods of longer gaps of 5-10 days 18% = 66 filled days Error estimation • 66 x 0.07 gCm-2: 5 gCm-2 • 66 x 0.2 gCm-2: 13 gCm-2 • Total error induced by filling of the gaps on the annual sum: ±18 gCm-2 ^

  23. Test using Real Gap Filling Results Are 18gCm-2 an appropriate estimate of the error on the annual sum prediction? • Standard deviation between techniques of filling the real dataset with  35% gaps ≤ 16 gCm-2 1) no soil temperature 2) 30 day system failure

  24. Questions?

  25. Let’s fill our “knowledge gaps” and have a fun and productive workshop!

  26. Separation of Daytime and Nighttime Data Keyfile: 10% artificial gaps Fragmented Golden File: 80% daytime NEP data, 35% nighttime NEP data • Real gap filling: 20% real day gaps, 65% real night gaps 1:3 • Artificial gap filling: 8% artificial day gaps, 3.5% artificial night gaps 2:1  Important to consider daytime and nighttime data separately

  27. Bias on daily sumsDaytime data • Distribution of bias error of the individual daily sums Daytime data Daily Bias Error: • up to 4 gCm-2 ANNs leading ANN_BR Bias Error (gCm-2)

  28. Bias on daily sums:Nighttime data • Distribution of bias error of the individual daily sums Daytime data Daily Bias Error: • up to 2 gCm-2 ANN_PS leading Bias Error (gCm-2)
