Consecute timestep periods

This module computes periods over all timesteps in infile where a certain property is valid. The property can be chosen by creating a mask from the original data, which is the expected input format for operators of this module. Depending on the operator full information about each period or just its length and ending date are computed.

Usage

cdo_consecsum(ifile, ofile = NULL)

cdo_consects(ifile, ofile = NULL)

Arguments

ifile

String with the path to the input file.

ofile

String with the path to the output file.

Details

consecsum  Consecutive Sum
           This operator computes periods of consecutive timesteps similar to a
           runsum, but periods are finished, when the mask value is 0. That way
           multiple periods can be found. Timesteps from the input are preserved. Missing
           values are handled like 0, i.e. finish periods of consecutive timesteps.
consects   Consecutive Timesteps
           In contrast to the operator above consects only computes the length of each
           period together with its last timestep. To be able to perform statistical
           analysis like min, max or mean, everything else is set to missing value.
