Abstract:

The dataset is used as an example of how to parallelize statistical analysis for CMIP data. The code contains all the LSF submission scripts and the R scripts referred to in the NCAR library technical note NCAR/TN-534+STR. The specific analysis conducted is Extreme Value Analysis, but the parallelization framework is generic and can be applied to any grid-point-wise parallelization using the software R.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
