Climate-related tools that I use in my work, gathered in a single module

Project description

Climate forcing

Some tools that I use in analysis of climate models.

Installation

pypi

Coming soon

development version

I strongly recommend doing this inside a virtual environment, e.g. conda, to keep your base python installation clean.

Clone the repository, cd to climateforcing and run

pip install -e .[dev]

aprp: Approximate Partial Radiative Perturbation

Generates the components of shortwave effective radiative forcing (ERF) from changes in absorption, scattering and cloud amount. For aerosols, this can be used to approximate the ERF from aerosol-radiation interactions (ERFari) and aerosol-cloud interactions (ERFaci). Citations:
