Consecutive summer days index per time period

Let infile be a time series of the daily maximum temperature TX, then the largest number of consecutive days where TX > T is counted. The number T is an optional parameter with default T = 25°C. Note that TN have to be given in units of Kelvin, whereas T have to be given in degrees Celsius. A further output variable is the number of summer 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_csu(ifile, T = NULL, N = NULL, ofile = NULL)

Arguments

ifile

String with the path to the input file.

T

FLOAT - Temperature threshold (unit: °C; default: T = 25°C)

N

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

ofile

String with the path to the output file.
