Historic Observations #1

Open julieshortridge opened 1 year ago

julieshortridge commented 1 year ago

Overall goal: Develop a dataset of historic observed daily temp and precip data in select locations. We'll compare these to projected temp and precip from climate models to get a sense of model accuracy (observed versus model hindcast) and projected changes (hindcast versus future).

Current tasks (Sarah):

The units for precipitation are inches and the units for temperature are in Fahrenheit. Here is the documentation for the data: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/daily-summaries/doc/GHCND_documentation.pdf

Here are the daily hindcast values for Parkersburg, WV (from the lat/lon Sarah provided) from one of the CMIP models (ACCESS-CM2). I have the maximum temperature and precipitation values in different files for ease of csv creation. Also, that way if a file gets corrupted, it isn't as difficult or computationally intensive to recreate. All files include the location, values, and units.

Time is a little wacky in the NetCDF files; it's time since an origin date rather than a specific day in time. As such, I created the dates by layer number in each file rather than using the time embedded in the NetCDF files (I tried and was unsuccessful). Please note that leap years have 366 days in the CMIP6 package. If these needs to be removed, February 29 is day 60 of leap years.

CSVs for all models! I have them here as a zip files to save space. Everything from the previous comment still applies.
