class earth2studio.data.WB2Climatology(climatology_zarr_store='1990-2017_6h_1440x721.zarr', cache=True, verbose=True)

Climatology provided by WeatherBench2,

A climatology is used for e.g. computing anomaly metrics such as the ACC.

For WeatherBench 2, the climatology was computed using a running window for

smoothing (see paper and script) for each day of year and sixth hour of day.

We have computed climatologies for 1990-2017 and 1990-2019.

Parameters:

• climatology_zarr_store (ClimatologyZarrStore, optional) –
