This repository includes our tools/scripts/models/etc for climate downscaling. This work is described in more detail in a [web article](https://carbonplan.org/research/cmip6-downscaling-explainer) with
a companion [map tool](https://carbonplan.org/research/cmip6-downscaling) to explore the data. We encourage you to reach out if you are interested in using the code or datasets by [opening an issue](https://github.com/carbonplan/cmip6-downscaling/issues/new) or [sending us an email](mailto:hello@carbonplan.org).
## install
```shell
python -m pip install cmip6_downscaling
```
## usage
```python
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.
```python
import intake
cat = intake.open_esm_datastore(
'https://rice1.osn.mghpcc.org/carbonplan/cp-cmip/version1/catalog/osn-rechunked-global-downscaled-cmip6.json'
)
```
You can check out this example [Jupyter notebook](https://github.com/carbonplan/cmip6-downscaling/blob/main/notebooks/accessing_data_example.ipynb) 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](https://github.com/carbonplan/cmip6-downscaling/blob/main/datasets.md) 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:
```python
import xarray as xr
xr.open_zarr('https://rice1.osn.mghpcc.org/carbonplan/cp-cmip/version1/rechunked_data/DeepSD/ScenarioMIP.CCCma.CanESM5.ssp245.r1i1p1f1.day.DeepSD.pr.zarr',chunks={})
```
