Description: Exploits dynamical seasonal forecasts in order to provide
    information relevant to stakeholders at the seasonal timescale. The package
    contains process-based methods for forecast calibration, bias correction,
    statistical and stochastic downscaling, optimal forecast combination and
    multivariate verification, as well as basic and advanced tools to obtain
    tailored products. This package was developed in the context of the ERA4CS 
    project MEDSCOPE and the H2020 S2S4E project and includes contributions from 
    ArticXchange project founded by EU-PolarNet 2. Implements methods described in
