Create ANN using Keras/TensorFlow for predicting PTTEND

[monocongo]

Using Keras with the TensorFlow backend we'll create a simple artificial neural network (ANN) using two layers, 1) convolutional neural network and 2) LSTM, for predicting the CAM PTTEND forcing tendency variable from PS, T, U, and V inputs. We'll split our input data into train/test datasets on northern and southern hemispheres.

Rather than using a Conv2D layer for the CNN part of the model we may want to explore using a Cropping3D layer instead.
