Highest fiveday precipitation amount per time period

ecarx5day.Rd

Let infile be a time series of 5-day precipitation totals RR, then the maximum of RR is written to outfile. A further output variable is the number of 5 day period with precipitation totals greater than x mm, where x is an optional parameter with default x = 50 mm. Parameter is a comma-separated list of \"key=values\" pairs.

Usage

cdo_eca_rx5day(ifile, x = NULL, freq = NULL, ofile = NULL)

cdo_etccdi_rx5day(ifile, x = NULL, freq = NULL, ofile = NULL)

Arguments

ifile

String with the path to the input file.

x

FLOAT - Precipitation threshold (unit: mm; default: x = 50 mm)

freq

STRING - Output frequency (year, month)

ofile

String with the path to the output file.

Details

eca_rx5day     Highest five-day precipitation amount per time period
               The operator counts over the entire time series.
               The date information of a timestep in outfile is the date of
               the last contributing timestep in infile.
etccdi_rx5day  Highest five-day precipitation amount per time period
               The default output frequency is yearly.
               Periods within overlapping years are accounted for the first year.
               The date information of a timestep in outfile is the mid of
               the frequency interval.
