Update references to point towards new verification FAQ site

[nicholasloveday]

The old CAWCR site has now been replaced here https://github.com/JWGFVR/forecastverification

We need to update the references to the old site (https://www.cawcr.gov.au/projects/verification/)

If someone else is keen to take care of this, then fantastic.

But if nobody is super keen to do this, I can get to it when I get a moment. I am just not sure exactly when that will be - probably within a month (but quite possibly sooner). @nicholasloveday do you know when the old site will be decommissioned?

Just to clarify, do you mean the outdated links should be updated to https://jwgfvr.github.io/forecastverification/ (rather than the GitHub link https://github.com/JWGFVR/forecastverification)?

[nicholasloveday]

Yes @Steph-Chong , you're absolutely right!

[Steph-Chong]

Before I start on this, can I please check if you are planning to modify any of the HTML id attributes for the new verification site?

For example, to link to "Accuracy (fraction correct)", the link would be: https://jwgfvr.github.io/forecastverification/index.html#ACC (based on my understanding of the page source, the id attribute is "ACC").

Note, I know almost no HTML, so apologies if I have not used the terms correctly.

[nicholasloveday]

I'm not aware of any plans to update those HTML id attributes

To help me keep track, I am going to make some notes here about progress:

Docs - included.md - DONE

• included.md was the only docs file in which I found links to the old CAWCR verification website.
• Update verification site links in included.md #933 updates all links in included.md
• [NOTE: have left descriptive text "WWRP/WGNE Joint Working Group on Forecast Verification Research" unchanged - confirmed that no change is needed]

API docstrings - DONE

• scores/src/scores/categorical/contingency_impl.py - Update verification site links in contingency_impl file #1031
• scores/src/scores/continuous/standard_impl.py - Update verification site links in continuous standard_impl.py #935 [NOTE: as with the other PRs, requires feedback on whether "index.html" in URL is likely to change]

Tutorials - DONE

• scores/tutorials/Additive_and_multiplicative_bias.ipynb - Update verification website links in the additive bias, multiplicative bias and percent bias tutorial #1029
• scores/tutorials/Binary_Contingency_Scores.ipynb - Update verification site link in binary contigency scores tutorial #1030

Rest of Codebase - DONE

• scores/tests/categorical/test_contingency.py - Update verification site links in contingency test file #934 updates two links [NOTE: awaiting (a) confirmation that URL is unlikely to change and (b) whether or not rounding of relevant results is likely to change - Nick confirmed (a) there are no short term plans to change the files/URL and (b) that the rounding will remain as is]

@nicholasloveday I am currently updating the links to the new verification site.

In included.md, should I be updating "WWRP/WGNE Joint Working Group on Forecast Verification Research" to "WWRP/WCRP Joint Working Group on Forecast Verification Research? (I.e. should "WGNE" be updated to "WCRP")?

If not, what should it be updated to?

(Note, I also opened issue JWGFVR/forecastverification#16 as this relates to the verification website)

[nicholasloveday]

Hi @Steph-Chong . It should be "WWRP/WGNE Joint Working Group on Forecast Verification Research"

My understanding is the the JWGFVR isn't part of WCRP, but instead collaborates with WCRP.

[nicholasloveday]

@Steph-Chong I am going to double check this with the chairs of the group and then back to you as there have been some recent changes

[Steph-Chong]

Thanks - I have now updated the links in included.md, but at this stage have left the descriptions as "WWRP/WGNE Joint Working Group on Forecast Verification Research" (which is our existing text). If this needs to changed, it can be easily done down the road :-).
