PyClimate 1.2. Analysis of atmospheric and oceanic data

[Jesus Fernandez]

Announce: PyClimate 1.2, 09 Dec 2002

We present version 1.2 of our package PyClimate: http://www.pyclimate.org

It is dedicated to the analysis of atmospheric and oceanic data sets
using Python. It makes heavy use of NumPy and some of our own
C extensions to speed up the code.

It is distributed according to the GNU General Public License Version 2
(it is free).

The updates from version 1.1.1 to 1.2 comprise:

a) Some minor bugs corrected.

b) Several changes in Principal Component Analysis routines. The old module
   has been object oriented and a new module allows to process huge data sets.

c) Added a netCDF iterator to search tranparently a time record through
   many of this files.

d) Monte Carlo test for the Barnett-Preisendorfer version of the CCA

e) Analog search for downscaling purposes

f) Array of numerical histograms (NHArray.py)

g) Cleaner name spaces

h) Statistical tests added to tools.py

i) Nearly 100% doc-string documented code and happydoc generated
   on-line documentation.

We would appreciate feedback by users.

Enjoy ;-)
