CMIP6_processing

Python scripts for processing, postprocessing, and plotting CMIP6 data

December 2021 - Coming soon!

June 2022 - Version 1.0 of CMIP6 processing

• Added the following mainline components for the processing routine:
  • Processing:
    • ELI.py - Computes the ENSO Longitude Index (ELI) based upon input SST data for a model in the CMIP6 ensemble; outputs monthly ELI to a CSV
    • niño3-4.py - Computes the Niño 3.4 Index based upon input SST data for a model in the CMIP6 ensemble; outputs monthly Niño 3.4 data to a CSV
    • zonal_averages.py - Calculates zonally-averaged SSTs for a given longitude and time period
  • Postprocessing/Utility:
    • significance_testing.py - Calculates statistical significance of changes in ELI/Niño 3.4 over some predefined period
    • iterateCMIP6.sh - Iterates over selected list of models in the CMIP6 ensemble to perform ELI/Niño 3.4 calculations
  • Plotting:
    • boxplots.py - Creates boxplot figures based upon ensemble ELI/Niño 3.4 data
    • heatmaps.py - Creates heatmap figures based upon ensemble ELI/Niño 3.4 data
    • histograms.py - Creates histogram figures based upon ensemble ELI/Niño 3.4 data
  • Packages:
    • init.py - Initializes cmip6_processing.py
    • cmip6_processing.py - Contains functions for processing CMIP6 data; see file for more in-depth descriptions of each

September 2022 - Version 1.1 of CMIP6 processing

• Various bug/syntax fixes associated with code for ELI calculation

  • Upcoming Improvements/Fixes:
  • Improving code tidiness
  • Fixing generalization issues
