Developing Jupyter Notebooks / ESMValTool Recipes for ENSO Evaluation

The Model Evaluation and Diagnostics team at ACCESS-NRI (@flicj191, @rbeucher) is currently working on developing Jupyter notebook recipes using ESMValCore to evaluate ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) in CMIP6 models. Our goal is to reproduce the evaluation metrics provided by the CLIVAR ENSO-metrics package developed by Yann Planton et al. (see: https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-19-0337.1).

Project Outline

• We will start by developing Jupyter notebooks that calculate the ENSO evaluation metrics using ESMValCore.
• Once validated, the notebooks will be converted into an ESMValTool recipe.
• The final objective is to reproduce the ENSO metrics matrix, similar to the one available at PCMDI ENSO Metrics Interactive Plot.

Please Note:
We are not integrating the PCMDI package directly but instead focusing on creating a standalone ESMValTool diagnostic or a collection of diagnostics that will achieve similar results.

Call for Contributions

Comments, suggestions, and contributions are welcome! Whether you have experience with ENSO diagnostics, ESMValCore, or CMIP6 models, your feedback and contributions will help improve this tool and its utility for the wider climate modeling community.

Godspeed to you, guys, and let us know if we can help! It'd be nice if, through this endeavor, we could see if we can touch base with the 'Muricans at PCMDI :eagle:
