A4D standardized diagnostics software and technical reports

This zenodo repo contains version 1.0 of the CCCma/A4D standard diagnostic package, which is a package that compares model simulations with observations. It is built on top of ESMValtool, using an in-house python routine. Code and documentation are in zenodo_A4D_software.tar. In addition, this repo contains reports of the CanESM5.0-p2, CanESM5.1-p1 and CanESM5.1-p2 climates and the comparison to observations, which were produced with version 1.0 of the CCCma/A4D standard diagnostic package (details see below). These reports will be updated with new diagnostics and future model versions, and made available at https://gitlab.com/cccma/canesm/-/wikis/home . The data used to generate the plots used in Sigmond et al. (2023) is not part of this repository. It is available from the ESGF as described in the ``Code and data availability'' of the paper.
