Why do I get 11 DJF seasons from 10 year dataset?

by Renata McCoy last modified 2007-05-08 10:35

Goal: Learn about seasonal means calculation in CDAT.


If your 10 year dataset starts on January one year and ends on Dec 10 years later, then you are going to get 11 DJF seasons, the first one calculated from partial season of first year's January and February, and the 11'th season will be calculated from last year's December month only.

NOTE:
When calculating any climatology it is important to remember that:
Climatology, Departures and Anomalies Tools work on BOUNDS, not on time values!!!


Starting from version 4.0, CDAT DOES NOT generate bounds automatically anymore (if not in a file already).
