Hi, thanks for checking out this repository. This is a working repository, which means that the most corrent commit might not always be the most functional or documented.

If you are looking for the version of the code that corresponds to the PNAS paper. Check out this release: https://github.com/raspstephan/CBRAIN-CAM/releases/tag/PNAS_final

The modified climate model code is available at https://gitlab.com/mspritch/spcam3.0-neural-net (branch: nn_fbp_engy_ess)

The main components of the repository are:

• cbrain: Contains the cbrain module with all code to preprocess the raw data, run the neural network experiments and analyze the data.
• pp_config: Contains configuration files and shell scripts to preprocess the climate model data to be used as neural network inputs
• nn_config: Contains neural network configuration files to be used with run_experiment.py.
• notebooks: Contains Jupyter notebooks used to analyze data. All plotting and data analysis for the papers is done in the subfolder presentation. dev contains development notebooks.
• wkspectra: Contains code to compute Wheeler-Kiladis figures. These were created by Mike S. Pritchard
• save_weights.py: Saves the weights, biases and normalization vectors in text files. These are then used as input for the climate model.
