Nick updates to paper

[nicholasloveday]

Here are a bunch of suggested changes. I have addressed some of the suggestions from @Steph-Chong in #53

[Steph-Chong]

I like these changes.

I have provided a few thoughts for consideration (and also two things I hadn't noticed in previous rounds of feedback).

[nicholasloveday]

Thanks @Steph-Chong - I added your suggested changes which all make sense to me. I'll have a think about rephrasing the paragraph about jive and scores

Re. that paragraph about Jive and scores - I really don't have a strong opinion. I like the initial version, I like your version, I don't hate my version. As long as it is clear and everyone is happy, that's fine by me :-).

Not sure if these questions/comments should go here, or should go in PR #53 . Happy to relocate them to #53

• Table: I think some of the scores have an authoritative reference, but the reference is not yet in the table. (When I pasted in the table, I added the references that were in the then previous version of the paper, but many new scores had been added between those paper versions, and I didn't go and add in the extra references).

• Should more binary categorical scores be added, or are you happy with what is in the table? (I have no opinion on this).

• Are references needed for any/all of: Jupyter Notebook, Python, GitHub, Dask, pandas, geopandas, NetCDF4, hdf5, Zarr and GRIB?

Let's put these in another pull request as I won't have time to work on this for another week.

• Table: I think some of the scores have an authoritative reference, but the reference is not yet in the table (e.g Brier Score). (When I pasted in the table, I added the references that were in the then previous version of the paper, but many new scores had been added between those paper versions, and I didn't go and add in the extra references).

Yes I did wonder that. We probably should. The Brier score reference is

@Article{BRIER_1950, title={VERIFICATION OF FORECASTS EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF PROBABILITY}, volume={78}, ISSN={1520-0493}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0493(1950)078<0001:vofeit>2.0.co;2}, DOI={10.1175/1520-0493(1950)078<0001:vofeit>2.0.co;2}, number={1}, journal={Monthly Weather Review}, publisher={American Meteorological Society}, author={BRIER, GLENN W.}, year={1950}, month=jan, pages={1–3} }

For the rest, if we are unsure, we can refer to the references in A Practitioner's Guide in Atmospheric Science, 2nd Edition. It's available online to all BoM staff.

• Should more binary categorical scores be added, or are you happy with what is in the table? (I have no opinion on this).

I am happy if we just use one name when we have multiple implementations of the same thing under different names. We should check if any are missing.

• Are references needed for any/all of: Jupyter Notebook, Python, GitHub, Dask, pandas, geopandas, NetCDF4, hdf5, Zarr and GRIB?
  Probably only pandas, geopandas, and dask.
