I'm working on a blog post to explain the differences between using xarray and geocat to compute monthly, seasonal, and yearly climate averages. Does anyone have a dataset with a monthly resolution or finer that spans the globe? The data itself can be anything (temperatures, winds, incoming/outgoing radiation).
Heather Craker (Nov 14 2022 at 20:15):The dataset I was working with was for a vertical column, and it's harder to communicate the differences in calculations with that kind of contour plot
Katie Dagon (Nov 14 2022 at 22:47):@Heather Craker You could try using CESM2 Large Ensemble output for this. Similar to this previous blog post.
Monthly atmospheric CESM2-LE output is available on casper here: /glade/campaign/cgd/cesm/CESM2-LE/timeseries/atm/proc/tseries/month_1/
For example the TS subdirectory has surface temperature. You could just pick a single netcdf file since you don't need to ingest the entire ensemble (as in that previous blog post). For example the file b.e21.BHISTcmip6.f09_g17.LE2-1001.001.cam.h0.TS.200001-200912.nc I believe represents the first ensemble member from 2000-2009.
