Bias correction is a suite of methods that aims to correct these systematic errors by comparing simulations to historic observations of the climate. It uses the discrepancies between the simulation and the models to find ways to correct them that can be applied to future predictions. There exists a large number of different ways of doing this kind of bias correction and it's hard to know which to apply when, especially for non-climate experts. These methods also need the historic data and simulations to be aligned both spatially and temporally. ![clim-recal diagram](/blog_content/v2_release/clim_recal_process.png) -That's why we are releasing a set of combined observation and simulation datasets for three cities in the UK and inviting authors of bias correction methods to benchmark their methods for those cities. +That's why we are releasing a set of combined observation and simulation datasets for three cities in the UK and inviting authors of bias correction methods to benchmark their methods for those cities.

As we have built these tools for a number of different projects, we have started noticing common patterns and requirements. Our applications often have similar layouts, interaction models, and processing requirements and so, to accelerate our ability to produce new tools as quickly as possible and to more easily maintain existing tools, we have started developing a set of application templates. These currently consist of: -- A web application written with Svelte; -- Common layouts for our applications; -- Optional Rust and Python backends which are run in the browser using WebAssembly; -- Examples of charts and graphs; and +- A web application written with Svelte. +- Common layouts for our applications. +- Optional Rust and Python backends which are run in the browser using WebAssembly. +- Examples of charts and graphs. - Common UI styling.
