Ensemble Comparison

This program performs a comparison between a simple traditional ensemble and a cluster-based ensemble.

Requirements

• Python 3.7.6
• UNIX based shell such as bash or z shell
• Combined dataset in netDF format

How to run the program

• Add the combined dataset in netCDF format in the files directory with the name combined-data.nc. Or go to the main.py file and update the Data class instantiation call to match your dataset location.

• Open the terminal and navigate to the the project's directory cd <path/to/project>.

• Run sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt or sudo pip install -r requirements.txt in order to install the project's dependencies listed in the requirements.txt. (Creating a virtual environment is recommended before this stage so that the dependencies don't get installed directly into your machine).

• Run python3 main.py or python main.py to execute the program.

• Verify the output file was generated in the files directory with the name comparison.nc.
