Welcome to the cmipdata documentation!¶
cmipdata is a python package for preprocessing large ensembles of climate model data in standardized NetCDF files, such as those used in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). The primary usage is to process the raw netCDF data from many models/realizations/experiments into a useful form for further analysis (e.g. by time-joining or slicing, remapping, averaging etc). cmipdata is the python wrapper that intelligently interfaces with the ensemble of model data, while the underlying data processing is done efficiently and transparently using Climate Data Operators (cdo). Limited functionality for loading processed data into numpy arrays and making basic plots is also provided.
