IDL Routine: VAR_FIELD QTCM Tool
If you send me <air_jlin@yahoo.com> your email address,
I'll let you know of any major bugs that are found in this library.
22 Jun 2002: Versions of the tool prior to this date used a version of
CALCANOM that computed climatology as a spline-fit to monthly climatology.
(This used to be in a file called calcanomL.pro, which is now renamed
calcanomL_spl.pro.) It's been found recently that sometimes removing the
spline-fit monthly climatology is not enough to remove the fundamental and
harmonics of the annual cycle. Thus, those values will still remain which
can cause aliasing. Thus, I recommend you use calcanomL_dly.pro, which
has the drawback in that it is currently written only for the case of
daily data, but appears to remove all the annual cycle contributions more
fully.
