New and improved

  • E3SM Diags: Add cmip6 comparison box whisker plot and updated Taylor Diagram with (E3SM v1 v2 amip and historical runs as baseline) in standard lat_lon set; Addded AOD and AAOD comparison with AERONET measurements; Support ELM and MOSART variables in model vs model comparison; Support model-only diags when reference is not present (i.g. AODDUST); Replace ERA-Interim with ERA5; Added MACv2 for AOD obs; Fixed diurnal cycle phase plot. More updates can be found here.
  • MPAS-Analysis: New density contour plots for validating eddy parameterizations; A smarter config parser that preserves comments and provenance in the output directory. More updates can be found here.
  • NCO: NCO now supports all new compression features offered by the latest netCDF, 4.9.0, including transparent access to modern lossless (Bzip2, Zstandard) and lossy (BitRound, Granular BitRound) compression and quantization algorithms. Documentation is here. Regridding landunit-specific fields in ELM is fixed.
  • pcmdi_metrics (PMP): The PCMDI Metrics Package (PMP) provides multi-model comparison for mean physical climate, climate variability metrics. More information can be found here.
  • xcdat: xcdat (Xarray Climate Data Analysis Tools) is an extension of xarray for climate data analysis on structured grids. The features in xcdat v0.3.0 include: wrapper for xarray’s open_dataset() and open_mfdataset() with post-processing options, temporal averaging (time series averages including single snapshot and grouped, climatologies, departures), geospatial weighted averaging, and horizontal structured regridding. Documentation is here.
  • zppy: Support running ILAMB tasks, which included writing out CMIP formated time-series using e3sm_to_cmip as a preparation step; Added support to model vs model E3SM Diags runs; Add option to define last year. More updates can be found here.
