v2.0.0 - 2025-10-15

This version enhances the tooling to support data validation and submission for the new RCMIP Phase 3.

Changed

• (!35) Modify the upload function (which supports the rcmip upload command) to create scenario-specific netCDF files from the submission bundle supplied by the user, which are subsequently uploaded to the remote server.

• (!35) Modify the upload function to allow for different endpoints beyond AWS, pointing it by default at NIRD (which is where RCMIP3 data will be stored).

• (!35) Modify the submitting_results.rst file with the intended workflow for RCMIP3 users employing this tool.

• (!35) Update notebooks to work with the new version of the tooling.

• (!35) Update black to version 22.3.0.

• (!35) Update versioneer to 0.29.

• (!35) Update moto to a minimum version of 4.2.0.

• (!35) Limit notebook dependency to version 7 or lower in jupyter notebook requirements.

Added

• (!35) Add an optional --comments flag to enable the specification of a file to upload containing comments about the submission.

• (!35) Add functionality related to the above addition, supporting the reading and validation of comment files (excel sheet or CVS).

• (!35) Add option to the rcmip download command to unzip downloaded files.

• (!35) Add a new command, rcmip convert-to-csvs, which takes netCDF files as produced by this tooling and converts them to two CSV files, one with the simulation data and another with the model metadata.

• (!35) Enhanced the testing suite to cover the changes and additions functionality in this PR.

• (!35) Add netcdf4 to test requirements.

• (!35) Add widgetsnbextension to jupyter notebooks requirements.

Removed

• (!35) Remove or comment functionality related to the model metrics, which we are not going to be requesting in the new RCMIP phase.

v1.0.0 - 2025-11-07

Added

• (!32) pyrcmip.stats.sample_multivariate_skewed_normal() to allow sampling of a multi-variate skewed normal distribution

v0.5.2 - 2022-02-08

Changed

• (!31) Move docutils to the docs extra requirements as it is only needed for building the documentation

v0.5.1 - 2021-08-18

Added

• (!30) pyrcmip.metric_calculations.CalculatorAirborneFraction18501920 and pyrcmip.metric_calculations.CalculatorAirborneFraction18501990 for calculating airboren fraction

• (!28) Scripts for uploading the RCMIP protocol to Zenodo

Changed

• (!29) Compare the ETag value from S3 against the md5sum from zenodo for the protocol data. This requires the protocol data to be uploaded as a single part as for multipart uploads the Etag != md5sum of the uploaded file

v0.5.0 - 2021-02-23

Changed

• (!27) Use openpyxl rather than xlrd as excel engine

Changed

• (!23) pyrcmip.database.Database.load_data() now requires a climate_model argument

• (!23) pyrcmip.database.Database.save_summary_table() now expects an "RCMIP name" column, rather than "metric"

• (!23) Metric calculations now use the pyrcmip.metric_calculations.base.Calculator

• (!24) Pin test dependency moto==1.3.14

• (!21) Timeseries submissions must include an ensemble_member column

Removed

• (!23) pyrcmip.database.time_mean()

v0.3.0 - 2020-09-02

Added
