MurCSS¶

First the proper module has to be loaded:

module load evaluation_system

The MurCSS tool is part of the analyze script. The help can be called with:

analyze --tool MurCSS --help 

showing a list of all available adjustments:

Example for Near-Surface-Air Temperature (tas) comparing baseline1 with baseline0 against HadCrut observations:

analyze --tool MurCSS variable=tas project1=baseline1 product1=output institute1=mpi-m model1=mpi-esm-lr experiment1=decs4e project2=baseline0 
                      product2=output1 institute2=mpi-m model2=mpi-esm-lr experiment2=decadal observation=HadCrut decadals=1960:2000 leadtimes=1,2-5
