In CompoundEvents: Statistical Modeling of Compound Events

Occurrence of compound wet-hot events

Description

Extract compound wet-hot (WH) occurrences based on thresholds of precipitation and temperature.The binary variable of the WH (or wet-warm,WW) event can be obtained.

Usage

GetWH(mp,mt,threp,thret)

Arguments

mp	Precipitation
mt	Temperature
threp	Threshold of precipitation (e.g., 80th percentile)
thret	Threshold of temperature (e.g., 80th percentile)

Value

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