Consecutive frost days index per time period

Let infile be a time series of the daily minimum temperature TN, then the largest number of consecutive days where TN < 0 °C is counted. Note that TN have to be given in units of Kelvin. A further output variable is the number of frost periods of more than N days. The date information of a timestep in outfile is the date of the last contributing timestep in infile.

Usage

cdo_eca_cfd(ifile, N = NULL, ofile = NULL)

Arguments

ifile

String with the path to the input file.

N

INTEGER - Minimum number of days exceeded (default: N = 5)

ofile

String with the path to the output file.
