TOAD is a Python package designed for detecting and clustering abrupt shifts in gridded Earth-system datasets, such as model outputs. The input data should be structured as a 3D array in the format space × space × time, where time can represent actual time or some other forcing variable or bifurcation parameter. TOAD provides a streamlined pipeline for identifying and analyzing spatio-temporal regions that exhibit similar dynamical responses to external forcing.
