Future steps and wish list¶
The next developments will adress, possibly in that order :
- adding graphic operators or features :
- vectors on scalar fields
- Hoevmoeller diagram
- Taylor diagram
- interfacing the Drakkar community CDFtools
- managing masks (e.g. for ocean, tropics, lakes, oceanic basins …)
- handling geographical domains which are lists of locations
- chunking : automatically splitting e.g. the time dimension when processing a dataset (provided memory issues actually call for that)
- further cache management functions : - add a grading scheme on cache results : a value is set by the user, and used as a criterion to protect some data when cleaning the cache - use a hierarchy of cache locations, some being shared among various users
- figure pages sharing a single, common palette
The wish list, is the list of features wich priority is lesser; you may complement it by sending suggestions to climaf at meteo dot fr
:
- use CliMAF as a data browser
- develop a fast remapping operator (provided there is some evidence that CDO reampping was sub-optimal)
- add to every result file some metadata regarding the basic data files used at the origin of all processing : creation date, version number if applicable
- a built-in arithmetics on datasets
- manage operators which provide multi-variable NetCDF files
