ccdfstdmoy : computes the standard deviation and mean value of any variable

Computes the standard deviation and mean value of any variable. This computation is direct and does not required a pre-processing with any of the cdfmoy tools. This is the wrapping around the native cdfstd operator assuming its usage is:

cdfstd [-save] **[-spval0]** **[-nomissincl]** **[-stdopt]**
... list_of_files

CliMAF optional arguments are the ones surrounded with ‘**’.

Provider / contact : climaf at meteo dot fr for the wrapping

Inputs (in the order of CliMAF call):

  • any dataset forming a time-series (but only one)

Mandatory arguments: None

Optional arguments:

  • opt may be used to pass following keys :
    • -spval0 : set missing_value attribute to 0 for all output variables and take care of the input missing_value. This option is usefull if missing_values differ from files to files
    • -nomissincl : with this option, the output std and mean are set to missing value at any gridpoint where the variable contains a missing value for at least one timestep. You should combine with -spval0 if missing values are not 0 in all the input files
    • -stdopt : use a more optimal algorithm to compute std and std is unbiased

Required files: None

Outputs:

  • main output : a netcdf file for standard deviation (variable : IN-var_std, same units than input variables)
  • secondary outputs and their names :
    • moy : field mean value (variable: IN-var, same units than input variables)

Climaf call example:: For more examples which are systematically tested, see cdftools.py

>>> duo=ds(simulation="PRE6CPLCr2alb", variable="uo", period="199807", realm="O") # some dataset, with whatever variable
>>> my_cdfstd_moy=ccdfstdmoy(duo)
>>> cfile(my_cdfstd_moy) # compute the mean value and standard deviation of "uo" field (sea water velocity)
>>> moy_var=my_cdfstd_moy.moy # moy_var receives operator output named "moy", namely the field mean value

Implementation: The operator is implemented as a binary using cdftools cdfstd operator.
