Example: [{\"metric\":\"norm:max_t.mean\",\"lb\":1.5,\"must_have\":true},{\"metric\":\"perc:obs.rain.sum\",\"ub\":15,\"must_have\":true}] Each element has: metric (required, one of the exact names listed below), lb and ub (optional numeric lower/upper bounds), and must_have (true = hard filter every result must satisfy, false = optional, only used to rank). Metric names are literal and case-sensitive: a prefix plus the metric base plus '.' plus the attribute, e.g. norm:max_t.mean, perc:obs.rain.sum. Never drop the prefix and never drop the 'obs.' segment. The seven metrics are: max_t.mean, min_t.mean, obs.temp.mean, obs.dewp.mean (C); obs.wind.mean (km/h); obs.rain.sum, obs.snow.sum (mm). Filterable prefixes: 'norm:' = anomaly divided by that place's interannual standard deviation (|1| unusual, |2| strongly unusual, |3|+ rare); 'perc:' = percentile rank of the prediction among the last 30 years, 0 to 100 (90 = hotter/wetter than 90% of them, 50 = typical); 'anom:' = the absolute anomaly in natural units, which is not comparable between places. Prefer 'perc:' for obs.rain.sum and obs.snow.sum, whose year-to-year distributions are skewed, and note 'norm:' is absent where interannual variability is near zero. The 'avg:' and 'std:' attributes are returned for display but cannot be filtered on.
