This script will generate a plot that illustrates:
- This highlighting the spatial moving window on the top layer. The selected pixel at (4,5) will be red, and the 24 surrounding pixels within the 5x5 window will be pink.
- This illustrate how the temporal moving window considers data from multiple layers (time steps) when smoothing the value for a single pixel.
The moving window approach is used to balance the advantages of capturing both spatial and temporal variations in precipitation patterns. By considering both spatial and temporal windows, the bias correction method can address local variations and seasonal changes more effectively.
