mesmer.io.load_obs.load_strat_aod¶
- mesmer.io.load_obs.load_strat_aod(time, dir_obs)¶
Load observed global stratospheric aerosol optical depth time series.
- Parameters
time (np.ndarray) – 1d array of years the AOD time series is required for
dir_obs (str) – pathway to observations
- Returns
aod_obs (np.ndarray) – 1d array of observed global stratospheric AOD time series
Notes
Assumption: time covers max full extend historical period (i.e., 1850 - 2014 for cimp6, 1850 - 2005 for cmip5)
potentially TODO: check if want to integrate it into load_obs() fct somehow, but likely not as it is quite different from other obs
