Short summary
We present One_Pass (v0.8.0), a Python package enabling computation of statistics from streamed global climate model output using one-pass algorithms. Users often need statistics covering periods longer than the stream duration, requiring algorithms that do not store full time series. One-pass methods address this need while avoiding full data archiving, offering memory-efficient, accurate results for high-performance computing (HPC) workflows and downstream applications like bias adjustment.
