This tutorial is a very basic introduction to getting started with hands-on data analysis of climate models from Earth System Climate models (usch as the Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project CMIP6).
Intended users: Students with no prior experience in climate data analysis, and intoductory programming background.
- Read CMIP climate model data (netcdf) files
- Understand the structure of data (spatial and temporal)
- Plotting absolute temperature for one model (with respect to a given baseline)
- Calculate and plot temperature change (anomaly)
- Additional tasks: Plot a multi-model map for a given period
- Further ideas for exploratory data analysis
