Hello Folks,
(Apologies for cross posting)
The Apache Open Climate Workbench community is pleased to announce the
1.0.0 release! This release addresses no less than 52 issues, bugs, and
improvements. For a full breakdown of the work packaged into this release
please see the release report <http://s.apache.org/release_climate>.
What is it?
Apache Open Climate Workbench is an effort to develop software that
performs climate model evaluation using model outputs from a variety of
different sources the Earth System Grid Federation <http://esgf.llnl.gov/>,
the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment
<http://www.cordex.org>, the U.S. National Climate Assessment
<http://nca2014.globalchange.gov/> and the North American Regional Climate
Change Assessment Program <http://www.narccap.ucar.edu/> and
temporal/spatial scales with remote sensing data from NASA
<http://www.nasa.gov>, NOAA <http://www.noaa.gov/> and other agencies. The
toolkit includes capabilities for rebinning, metrics computation and
visualization.
Whats in the Release?
Some important features this release packs include statistical downscaling
capabilities such as Delta Method, Quantile Mapping and Quantile
Regression, configuration driven evaluation improvements, better plot
support to config based evaluations and a brand new module to calculate
area mean and standard deviation with given subregion information. We urge
all users to upgrade to this version immediately. Please let us know how
you are using OCW over on the community mailing lists
<http://climate.apache.org/community/mailing-lists.html>. Finally, please
see our 1.1 Roadmap <http://s.apache.org/1.1roadmap> for an idea of the
