Introduction
===============

The goal of these sample cases is to provide the UFS community with datasets that they can modify and run to see if their changes can improve the forecast and/or reduce the model biases. Each case covers an interesting weather event. The case that was added ahead of the v2.1.0 release was a severe weather event over Indianapolis on June 15-16, 2019. Content has been updated for the v2.2.0 release. In the future, additional sample cases will be provided.
The goal of these sample cases is to provide the UFS community with datasets that they can modify and run to see if their changes can improve the forecast and/or reduce the model biases. Each case covers an interesting weather event. The case that was added ahead of the v2.1.0 release was a severe weather event over Indianapolis on June 15-16, 2019. Content has been updated for the |latestr| release. In the future, additional sample cases will be provided.

Each sample case contains model output from a control run; this output includes ``postprd`` (post-processed) and ``metprd`` (MET verification-processed) directories. Under the ``postprd`` directory, users will find the :term:`UPP` output of the model run along with plots for several forecast variables (when plotting tasks are run). These can be used for a visual/qualitative comparison of forecasts. The ``metprd`` directory contains METplus verification statistics files, which can be used for a quantitative comparison of forecast outputs.

Prerequisites
================

This chapter assumes that users have already (1) built the SRW App v2.2.0 release successfully and (2) installed MET and METplus on their system (e.g., as part of :term:`spack-stack` installation). For instructions on how to build the v2.2.0 release, see :numref:`Section %s <BuildSRW>`. Users will have an easier time if they run through the out-of-the-box case described in :numref:`Section %s <RunSRW>` before attempting to run any verification sample cases, but doing so is optional.
