LMR Turbo

A lightweight implementation of the LMR framework

A lightweight, packaged version of the Last Millennium Reanalysia (LMR) paleoclimate data assimilation (PDA) framework, inspired by LMR_lite.py originated by Professor Hakim (Univ. of Washington). Ultimately, it aims to provide following features:

  • Greater flexibility
    • Easy installation
    • Easy importing and usage in Jupyter notebooks (or scripts)
    • No assumption of a fixed folder structure; just feed the correct files to functions
    • Easy setup for different priors, proxies, and Proxy System Models (PSMs) included in PRYSM API
  • Faster speed
    • Easy parallel computing with multiprocessing and other techniques

Applications

  • Reconstruction of the spatial-temporal field (tas, pr, z500, etc.) over Common Era
  • Post processing of the renalaysis result
  • Visualization of the renalaysis result
