Example Notebooks¶
The repository consists of a collection of self-contained Jupyter notebooks that reproduce the analyses and figures presented in the associated publication. Each notebook focuses on a specific aspect of the evaluation, including spatial climatologies, precipitation statistics, annual and diurnal cycles, sea-surface temperature, and vertical temperature profile analyses.
Each section below provides a brief description of the corresponding notebook together with an example of the generated figure.
