The output of the main function, `Loading()`, is a list containing the hindcast, observations and forecast, named hcst, obs and fcst respectively. fcst will be `NULL` if no forecast years have been requested.
### How to call it
```r
data <- Loading(recipe = recipe)
```
### Regridding
The Loading module can interpolate the data while loading them, using CDO as the core tool. The interpolation methods that can be specified in the recipe under `Regrid:method` are those accepted by CDO: `'conservative'`, `'bilinear'`,`'bicubic'`, `'distance-weighted'`, `'con2'`, `'laf'` and `'nn'`. Consult the CDO User Guide for more details.

The output of the function, `Units()`, is a list containing the hindcast, observations and forecast, named hcst, obs and fcst respectively. fcst will be `NULL` if no forecast years have been requested.
### How to call it
```r

```
## Orography correction
The `orography_correction()` function performs orographic temperature correction between the experiment (`data$hcst`, `data$fcst`) and reference (`data$obs`) datasets. To apply this, the orography files for the system and reference datasets are loaded. This correction is relevant for the mean_bias metric.
### How to call it
```r
data <- orography_correction(recipe = recipe, data = data)
```

### Calibration methods currently available:
The calibration method can be requested in the `Workflow:Calibration:method` section of the recipe. **The user can only request one calibration method per recipe.** This is a list of the methods currently available:

The output of the main function, **Downscaling()**, is a list containing the downscaled hindcast (forecast) and observations, named **hcst** (**fcst**) and **obs**.
### How to call it
```r
data <- Downscaling(recipe = recipe, data = data)
```
**Downscaling methods currently available:**
The first step is to specify the type of downscaling, choosing from the following options: `'none'`, `'analogs'`, `'int'`, `'intbc'`, `'intlr'`, `'logreg'`. Only one downscaling type can be chosen per recipe. Detailed information about each methodology can be found in the CSDownscale documentation.

The main function, `Indices()`, returns the hcst and obs s2dv_cube objects for each requested index, in the form of a list of lists. The 'latitude' and 'longitude' dimensions of the original arrays are aggregated into a single 'region' dimension.

**Probabilities()** returns a list of lists. Inside the lists there are arrays containing the values corresponding to the thresholds defined in the recipe, in `Workflow:Probabilities:percentiles` (`$percentiles`), as well as their probability bins (`$probs`).

However, this is just a naming convention; the computations are performed based on the original thresholds specified in the recipe.

The Saving module contains several functions that export the data (the calibrated hindcast and forecast, the corresponding observations, the skill metrics, percentiles and probabilities) to netCDF files and save them.
Since version 1.x.x of SUNSET, each module has different options to save all or some the data produced. These options can be specified in the recipe. To see the options for a specific module, consult the 'Recipe' section of this wiki or the documentation for that module. Once the computations are finished, the output subdirectories and files are generated internally within the module function, according to the user's specifications.
