CSTools: Assessing Skill of Climate Forecasts on Seasonal-to-Decadal Timescales

Climate BSC Group: Earth Sciences Software
Exploits dynamical seasonal forecasts in order to provide information relevant to stakeholders at the seasonal timescale. The package contains process-based methods for forecast calibration, bias correction, statistical and stochastic downscaling, optimal forecast combination and multivariate verification, as well as basic and advanced tools to obtain tailored products.
