improver.cli.blend_cycles_and_realizations module

Script to run weighted blending to collapse realization and forecast_reference_time coords using equal weights.

process(*cubes, cycletime=None)[source]

Runs equal-weighted blending for a specific scenario.

Calculates an equal-weighted blend of input cube data across the realization and forecast_reference_time coordinates.

Parameters:
  • cubes (iris.cube.CubeList) – Cubelist of cubes to be blended.

  • cycletime (str) – The forecast reference time to be used after blending has been applied, in the format YYYYMMDDTHHMMZ. If not provided, the blended file takes the latest available forecast reference time from the input datasets.

Returns:

Merged and blended Cube.

Return type:

iris.cube.Cube
