diagnostic.functions.temporal_bias

temporal_bias(ds: Dataset, ref: Dataset, calc_relative=False)

Calculate the temporal bias of the data compared to the reference. If lat and lon are present, ds and ref is averaged over the spatial dimensions lat and lon.

Parameters:

• ds (xr.Dataset) – The data to calculate the temporal bias of.

• ref (xr.Dataset) – The reference data to compare the data to.

• calc_relative (bool, optional) – If True, return the relative bias, if False return the absolute bias, by default False

Returns:

The temporal bias of the data compared to the reference.

Return type:

xr.Dataset
