Welcome! This synthesis of FORTRAN and Python is a globally applicable
weather generator inspired by the original WGEN weather generator of
[Richardson1981] and parameterized through a global dataset of [GHCN] and
[EECRA] data. A paper with the scientific documentation is in progress, the
technical documentation with more information is hosted on github.io.
This work was supported by the European Research Council (COEVOLVE, 313797) and
the Swiss National Science Foundation (ACACIA, CR10I2_146314). We thank
Shawn Koppenhoefer for assistance compiling and querying the weather databases and
Alexis Berne and Grégoire Mariéthoz for helpful suggestions on the analyses. We
are grateful to NOAA NCDC and the University of Washingtion for providing free
of charge the GHCN-Daily and EECRA databases, respectively.
