# Scientific Objective
# --------------------
# [UPDATE_SECTION_CONTENT]
#
# This use case computes pre-processing on Soil Moisture data to prepare it to
# be run through Grid-Stat or another program to verify Soil Moisture.
# To provide statistical information on the forecast hail size compared to
# the observed hail size from MRMS MESH data. Using objects to verify hail size
# avoids the “unfair penalty” issue, where a CAM must first generate convection
# to have any chance of accurately predicting the hail size. In addition, studies
# have shown that MRMS MESH observed hail sizes do not correlate one-to-one with
# observed sizes but can only be used to group storms into general categories.
# Running MODE allows a user to do this.
#
# This use case performs pre-processing on Soil Moisture data to prepare it to
# be run through Grid-Stat or another program for verification. As part of that
# pre-processing, 1 m soil moisture is calculated by adding the soil moisture for
# the top three layers (0-7cm, 7-28 cm, 28-100 cm), each multipled by the layer
# thickness. After 1m soil moisture is calculated for each month, a 30 year
# climatology is calculated by computing the mean and standard deviation for
# each month between 1991 and 2020.
