Change in Wind speed and Direction

Created by anjakatzenberger

This code provides changes in wind speed and wind direction for a subset of CMIP6 models

1. The first figure (a panel of 2x3 wind fields) is written for 6 CMIP6 models
2. The second figure gives a multi model mean of the models given
3. The input data is preprocessed using CDOs (selected time period, selected altitude of winds, as well as mean over time for specific months)

Adapt the preprocessing as adequate for your research question
