Ano_CrossValid {s2dv}

Compute anomalies in cross-validation mode

Description

Compute the anomalies from the arrays of the experimental and observational data output by subtracting the climatologies computed with a leave-one-out cross validation technique and a per-pair method (Garcia-Serrano and Doblas-Reyes, CD, 2012). Per-pair climatology means that only the start dates covered by the whole experiments/observational datasets will be used. In other words, the startdates which do not all have values along 'dat_dim' dimension of both the 'exp' and 'obs' are excluded when computing the climatologies.

Usage

Ano_CrossValid(
  exp,
  obs,
  time_dim = "sdate",
  dat_dim = c("dataset", "member"),
  memb_dim = "member",
  memb = TRUE,
  ncores = NULL
)

Arguments

exp

A named numeric array of experimental data, with at least dimensions 'time_dim' and 'dat_dim'.

obs

A named numeric array of observational data, same dimensions as parameter 'exp' except along 'dat_dim'.

time_dim

A character string indicating the name of the time dimension. The default value is 'sdate'.

dat_dim

A character vector indicating the name of the dataset and member dimensions. When calculating the climatology, if data at one startdate (i.e., 'time_dim') is not complete along 'dat_dim', this startdate along 'dat_dim' will be discarded. If there is no dataset dimension, it can be NULL. The default value is "c('dataset', 'member')".

memb_dim

A character string indicating the name of the member dimension. Only used when parameter 'memb' is FALSE. It must be one element in 'dat_dim'. The default value is 'member'.

memb

A logical value indicating whether to subtract the climatology based on the individual members (TRUE) or the ensemble mean over all members (FALSE) when calculating the anomalies. The default value is TRUE.

ncores

An integer indicating the number of cores to use for parallel computation. The default value is NULL.

Value

A list of 2:

$exp

A numeric array with the same dimensions as 'exp'. The dimension order may change.

$obs

A numeric array with the same dimensions as 'obs'.The dimension order may change.
