        Introduction
        ------------
        
        **cmipdata** is a python package for preprocessing and analysis of climate model 
        data in standardized NetCDF files, such as those used in the Coupled Model 
        Intercomparison Project (CMIP). With cmipdata processing hundreds of NetCDF files 
        that make up a large model ensemble is easy. **cmipdata** is the python wrapper 
        that intelligently interfaces with the ensemble of model data, while the underlying 
        data processing is done efficiently and transparently using 
        `Climate Data Operators (cdo) <https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo>`_. 
        Limited functionality for loading processed data into `numpy 
        <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103>`_ 
        arrays and making basic plots is also provided. 
        
        Common operations and some example analyses that can be applied across the whole 
        model ensemble with only one or two commands are:
        
        * joining model time-slices (or experiments)
        * spatial remapping to a common grid
        * selecting a specific time-interval or spatial region
        * computing a climatology or an anomaly
        * calculating an area mean or integral
        * calculating more advanced metrics such as Arctic sea-ice extent
