Migration of calibration software to Python and development of its GUI

ecPoint-Cal is software that compares numerical model outputs against point observations to identify biases/errors at local scale. The software had two different processes and both steps were written in two different programming languages, which cannot be easily integrated. The challenge proposed migrating the existing code into Python and developing a user-friendly GUI for the software.

The new software, ecPoint-PyCal, provides a dynamic environment in Python and could ultimately be used to help steer model developments and to post-process ECMWF model parameters to produce probabilistic products for geographical locations.
