Functions to store and compute climatological weights #231

Closed ladc closed 3 years ago

ladc commented 3 years ago

This implements the functions save_weights and calc_clim_weights which save the current and compute the climatological weights (a running mean of the weights of the past n days, where typically n=30. These climatological weights are used in the scale- and skill-dependent blending of STEPS with NWP forecasts, see #212, which will be part of pysteps v2.0, see #216. The current weights, based on the correlations per cascade level, are regressed towards these climatological weights in the course of the forecast.
