Primer on climate data

[kyleredilla]

What I'm thinking here is a primer on using various types of climate data offered by SNAP and elsewhere.

• explain gridded observed data
• Explain reanlaysis and compare it with observed data, both station data and gridded observed data
• explain GCMs and compare with historical runs with reanalysis, demonstrating mismatch between fine scale (e.g. hourly) but expected match between historical summaries over 10-years etc.
• demonstrate bias between point extraction and station data, with potential comparison to elevation variation within a pixel
• demonstrate the more useful ways to summarize GCM data
