\description{
Create animations of maps in an equi-rectangular or stereographic 
projection, showing the anomalies, the climatologies, the mean InterQuartile 
Range, Maximum-Mininum, Standard Deviation, Median Absolute Deviation, 
the trends, the RMSE, the correlation or the RMSSS, between modelled and 
observed data along the forecast time (lead-time) for all input experiments 
and input observational datasets.

Examples of input:
\enumerate{
 \item{
 Outputs from clim (exp, obs, memb = FALSE):
        (nmod, nltime, nlat, nlon)
     or (nobs, nltime, nlat, nlon) 
 }
 \item{
 Model output from load/ano/smoothing:
          (nmod, nmemb, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon)
 then passed through spread(var, posdim = 2, narm = TRUE)
                   & mean1dim(var, posdim = 3, narm = TRUE)
 or through trend(mean1dim(var, 2), posTR = 2):
          (nmod, 3, nltime, nlat, nlon)
 animates average along start dates of IQR/MaxMin/SD/MAD across members 
 or trends of the ensemble-mean computed accross the start dates.
 }
 \item{
 model and observed output from load/ano/smoothing:
          (nmod, nmemb, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon)
        & (nobs, nmemb, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon)
 then averaged along members mean1dim(var_exp/var_obs, posdim = 2):
          (nmod, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon)
          (nobs, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon)
 then passed through corr(exp, obs, posloop = 1, poscor = 2)
                  or RMS(exp, obs, posloop = 1, posRMS = 2):
          (nmod, nobs, 3, nltime, nlat, nlon)
 animates correlations or RMS between each exp & each obs against leadtime.
