gsimcli:

Geostatistical SIMulation for the homogenisation and interpolation of CLImate data

Documentation Status Code Issues Project Stats

What is it

gsimcli is a method to homogenise climate data using geostatistical stochastic simulation methods.

It is presented here as an open source Python project. Some of its modules are intended to serve as useful libraries for other projects.

Development

gsimcli is implemented using Direct Sequential Simulation (DSS) [1]. The method description and its application have already been published [2].

This research project is hosted at NOVA IMS (Lisbon, Portugal) and it is funded by the "Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia" (FCT), Portugal, through the research project PTDC/GEO-MET/4026/2012. See the approval and funding notice.

The outcomes of this project also include three peer-reviewed papers published in scientific journals. See the complete list of the Project Publications below.

Note by the programmer

This software is no longer being developed. Of course, development may continue in any fork.

The latest and last version is available in the master branch.

The Issues page lists the tasks and ideas that were not implemented and/or completed, as well as known limitations. Those may be a source of ideas for any eventual future development.
