GetDC: Occurrence of compound dry-cold events

In CompoundEvents: Statistical Modeling of Compound Events

Occurrence of compound dry-cold events

Description

Extract compound dry-cold occurrences based on thresholds of precipitation and temperature. The binary variable of the dry and cold (DC) event can be obtained.

Usage

GetDC(mp,mt,threp,thret)

Arguments

mp	Precipitation
mt	Temperature
threp	Threshold of precipitation (e.g., 20th percentile)
thret	Threshold of temperature (e.g., 20th percentile)

Value

The occurrence of compound wet-hot event (0-1 binary variable)
