First MR to create a simple multi-model ensemble plotter

Martin Bergemann requested to merge init into master

This plugin is able to create up to two multi-model ensembles and plots Maps and Time Series to compare the ensemble(s).

The user can choose up to two ensembles with members comprising different models and ensembles form the same project, product and experiment. If two ensembles are created also difference plots are displayed. For comparison the input fields are remapped to a common grid.

One could imagine the following scenarios:

  • Single multi-model ensemble: Only one ensemble is created and results are displayed e.g cmip6, rcp85 for variable tas
  • Two multi-model ensemble: Two ensembles are created e.g a) cmip6, rcp85 b) cmip6, historical. The differences of ensemble mean and standard deviation for a) and b) are also created.
  • Model Obs comparison: It should be also possible to compare one model (ensemble) data and observations.

I've added a functionality to create a so called multi-year cycle. Suppose you have 30 year time slices from different time-periods (like we will have in RegiKlim). In order to make the time-series comparable the code creates an average yearly cycle from the data. This can also be useful if someone is interested in the average yearly cycle alone. Still I am not sure about the year - but we've had this discussion before. At the moment I've assigned the year to year 2020, which might be misleading.

@k204225 @k204229 @k204231 any ideas on the year issue or general comments?
