Chapter 6 Bias-Corrections

About:

Bias-corrections are an important step in the preparation of CMIP6 data for use in forecasting. This step aims to remove any inherent hot/cold biases from the CMIP6 data that are observed during the range of dates that we have available reference data with which to compare the models to.

6.1 Performing Bias Corrections

Bias-corrections were performed by stepping through one of two Rmarkdowns. One for SODA bias-corrections and the other for OISSTv2 bias-corrections. The SODA rmarkdown has a parameter option that lets you select which variable to process, outputting everything according to the selection.

Details on individual steps can be found in the Rmarkdown report links:
