improver.cli.remake_as_shower_condition module
Script to modify a suitable shower condition proxy diagnostic into a shower condition cube.
- process(cube)[source]
Modify the name and threshold coordinate of another diagnostic to create a shower condition cube. Such a cube provides the probability that any precipitation, should it be present, should be classified as showery. Only suitable proxies for identifying showery conditions should be modified in this way. By modifying cubes in this way it is possible to blend different proxies from different models as though they are equivalent diagnostics. The user must be satisfied that the proxies are suitable for blending.
- Parameters:
cube (iris.cube.Cube) – A cube containing the diagnostic that is a proxy for showery conditions, e.g. cloud texture.
- Returns:
Probability of any precipitation, if present, being classified as showery.
- Return type:
