The code implements 5 variants of ensemble copula coupling:
- Standard ECC
- Smoothed ECC
- Neighborhood ECC
- Tricube smoothing method of Scheuerer and Hamill (2018)
- Regularized calibration method of Scheuerer and Hamill (2018)
The script to produce the calibrated ensembles is ecc.py
. It requires as inputs the gridded raw ensemble, and the gridded calibrated probabilistic forecast (e.g. from Rainforests, reliability calibration, or any other method).
The script probability_output.py
thresholds the calibrated forecasts and produces gridded and site output for quantitative verification.
