.. _recipes_impact: Quick insights for climate impact researchers ============================================= Overview -------- Many impact researchers do not have the time and finances to use a large ensemble of climate model runs for their impact analysis. To get an idea of the range of impacts of climate change it also suffices to use a small number of climate model runs. In case a system is only sensitive to annual temperature, one can select a run with a high change and one with a low change of annual temperature, preferably both with a low bias. This recipe calculates the bias with respect to observations, and the change with respect to a reference period, for a wide range of (CMIP) models. These metrics are tabulated and also visualized in a diagram. Available recipes and diagnostics --------------------------------- Recipes are stored in esmvaltool/recipes/ * recipe_impact.yml Diagnostics are stored in esmvaltool/diag_scripts/ * impact/bias_and_change.py: tabulate and visualize bias and change. User settings in recipe ----------------------- #. Script ``impact.py`` *Required settings for variables* * tag: ``'model'`` or ``'observations'``, so the diagnostic script knows which datasets to use for the bias calculation. This must be specified for each dataset. *Optional settings for preprocessor* * Region and time settings (both for the future and reference period) can be changed at will. Variables --------- * tas (atmos, mon, longitude latitude time) * pr (atmos, mon, longitude latitude time) * any other variables of interest Observations and reformat scripts --------------------------------- * ERA5 data can be used via the native6 project. References ---------- * None Example plots ------------- .. _fig_impact_1: .. figure:: /recipes/figures/impact/bias_vs_change.png :align: center "Bias and change for each variable" .. raw:: html
