ESMValTool v2.10.0 released!

New versions of the ESMValTool (v2.10.0) and ESMValCore (v2.10.0) have just been released:

• https://github.com/ESMValGroup/ESMValTool/releases/tag/v2.10.0
• https://github.com/ESMValGroup/ESMValCore/releases/tag/v2.10.0

These versions are available, as usual, on GitHub, conda-forge, PyPI and as containers.

Please refer to the Changelogs for an overview of the latest changes and additions:

• https://docs.esmvaltool.org/en/latest/changelog.html#v2-10-0
• https://docs.esmvaltool.org/projects/esmvalcore/en/latest/changelog.html#v2-10-0

---

Highlights:

ESMValCore:

• All statistics preprocessors support the same operators and have a common documentation. In addition, arbitrary keyword arguments for the statistical operation can be directly given to the preprocessor.

• The output webpage generated by the tool now looks better and provides methods to select and filter the output.

• Improved computational efficiency

ESMValTool:

• Added a realistic IPCC example recipe that reproduces figure 9.3 from AR6. It computes the mean sea-surface temperature anomaly between 1850-2100 over all available CMIP6 models. See the recipe documentation or read the blog post for more information.

• Added more plot types to monitoring diagnostic: Hovmoeller Z vs. time, Hovmoeller time vs latlon, variable vs. latitude are now available. See the recipe documentation for more information.

• Many recipes now have up-to-date obs4MIPs dataset names so required data can automatically be downloaded from ESGF.

---

Finally, a collection of output from 140 ESMValTool recipes run with version v2.10.0 is available on the DKRZ portal.

Happy model evaluation with ESMValTool!
