climate downscaling using cmip6 data
carbonplan / cmip6-downscaling
This repository includes our tools/scripts/models/etc for climate downscaling. This work is described in more detail in a web article with a companion map tool to explore the data. We encourage you to reach out if you are interested in using the code or datasets by opening an issue or sending us an email.
install
python -m pip install cmip6_downscalingusage
from cmip6_downscaling.methods import ...data access
There are two ways to access the data using Python.
First, the entire collection of datasets at daily timescales is available through an intake catalog using the following code snippet.
import intake
cat = intake.open_esm_datastore(
'https://cpdataeuwest.blob.core.windows.net/cp-cmip/version1/catalogs/global-downscaled-cmip6.json'
)
You can check out this example Jupyter notebook to see how to access the data, perform some simple analysis, and download subsets.
You can also access the data by using the URL of an individual dataset. See the datasets page for a table of all available datasets in this collection with storage locations and other metadata. A code snippet showing how to use the URL is shown below:
import xarray as xr
xr.open_zarr('https://cpdataeuwest.blob.core.windows.net/cp-cmip/version1/data/DeepSD/ScenarioMIP.CCCma.CanESM5.ssp245.r1i1p1f1.day.DeepSD.pr.zarr')
