EUREC⁴A-MIP#

The EUREC⁴A-Model intercomparison project (EUREC⁴A-MIP) is an ongoing effort to test the ability of a variety of simulations to capture the observed variability of the trade-winds.

Note

This section and its subsections are still under development.

Setup#

Boundary conditions#

The boundary conditions and warming tendencies are provided on the DKRZ-SWIFT storage. The entire files can be accessed

  • via the EUREC⁴A Intake Catalog

    import xarray as xr
from intake import open_catalog
from pandas import date_range

dates_of_interest = date_range('2020-01-01','2020-03-01', freq='1H')

cat = open_catalog("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eurec4a/eurec4a-intake/master/catalog.yml")

for experiment in ['control', 'warming']:
  bc_cat = cat.simulations.EUREC4A_MIP[experiment].setup.boundary_conditions
  ds = xr.concat([bc_cat(date=d).to_dask() for d in dates_of_interest], dim='time')
  ds.to_netcdf(f"EUREC4A-MIP_boundaryConditions_{experiment}.nc")

    Instructions on how to install the mandatory packages can be found at the EUREC⁴A Intake Catalog Repository

  • from the browser interface
