How to calculate (IoA, R, RMSE, MEAN, STD, MAE) by CDO.
I have two data set simulations and observations.
1- sim.nc
2- obc.nc

1- Index of agreement (IoA)
2- correlation coefficient (R)
3- root-mean-square error (RMSE))
4- climatological mean (MEAN)
5- standard deviation (STD)
6- mean absolute error (MAE)

If anyone's method can not solve by CDO kindly let us know another software platform how to calculate.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Muhammad,

First, you should take a look at the CDO User Guide

Search in the User Guide 'correlation coefficient' and tada you find the Correlation and co. chapter.

Another way is to simply google your question with cdo as first search word.

My Google search of 'cdo compute rmse' leads me to the following CDO forum issue:

To compute RMSE:

cdo -sqrt -fldmean -sqr -sub simfile obsfile RMSE.nc

Mean and standard deviation computation depends on what you want to compute, the mean over time, the mean of the horizontal field, yearly-mean, daily mean? Climatology can also be a 30-years time series. CDO provides a lot of mean and std operators (see User Guide).
