csa - A Cross-Scale Analysis Tool for Model-Observation Visualization
and Integration
Integration of Earth system data from various sources is a
challenging task. Except for their qualitative heterogeneity,
different data records exist for describing similar Earth
system process at different spatio-temporal scales. Data
inter-comparison and validation are usually performed at a
single spatial or temporal scale, which could hamper the
identification of potential discrepancies in other scales.
'csa' package offers a simple, yet efficient, graphical method
for synthesizing and comparing observed and modelled data
across a range of spatio-temporal scales. Instead of focusing
at specific scales, such as annual means or original grid
resolution, we examine how their statistical properties change
across spatio-temporal continuum.
