The cansips_hindcast() client automates the methodology described here to create a 30-year climatology in order to compute forecast anomalies.
CanSIPS Hindcast Methodology TLDR
-
Beginning at the current month, download the hindcast for all forecast steps from month 0 (current month) through month 11 (12 steps total) for each year from 1991-2020.
-
Create an
xarray.arrayfor each year of hindcast data. -
Combine these datasets into one
xarray.array. -
Create an
xarray.arrayof the ensemble mean between all 40 ensemble members of the combined dataset.
