ck_total_precip() now applies the canonical 'ETCCDI' 'PRCPTOT'
wet-day filter (precipitation >= 1 mm) by default. Pass
wet_day_threshold = 0 to recover the previous raw-sum behaviour.ck_first_frost() and ck_last_frost() gain a lat argument and
use hemisphere-appropriate cutoffs. Southern Hemisphere users no
longer get silent NA results.ck_branas() gains a lat argument; Southern Hemisphere growing
season is now October-February of the following year.ck_precip_intensity() (SDII) returns NA for periods with no valid
observations rather than NaN.ck_tx10p(), ck_tn10p(), ck_tx90p(), ck_tn90p() gain a
bootstrap = FALSE argument. When TRUE, the leave-one-out
resampling of Zhang et al. (2005) is applied to remove
self-inclusion bias for analysis years inside the reference
period. This is the canonical 'climdex.pcic' / 'climpact' behaviour
and is required for climate-change attribution work spanning the
base period.ck_hwm(), ck_hwa(), ck_cwm(), ck_cwa() gain a mode = c(
"excess", "absolute") argument. "excess" (default) preserves
the existing 'ET-SCI' / 'climpact' convention. "absolute"
returns mean / peak raw temperature on event days, matching
Perkins-Alexander (2013).ck_ehf() implements the Excess Heat Factor of
Nairn and Fawcett (2013), the Australian Bureau of Meteorology
operational heatwave metric. Three annual statistics are exposed
via stat = c("max", "n_positive", "sum_positive").ck_spi() gains distribution = c("gamma", "pearsonIII"). Pearson
III is preferred in arid regions where the wet-day distribution is
highly skewed (Stagge et al. 2015).ck_spei() gains distribution = c("log-logistic", "gev"). GEV is
fitted via Hosking (1985) L-moments.ck_pet_pm() implements the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith
reference evapotranspiration (Allen et al. 1998), the
international standard. Optional inputs include relative humidity,
wind speed, incoming solar radiation, and elevation; FAO-56
fallbacks are used where these are unavailable. ck_pet()
remains as the simpler temperature-only Hargreaves estimator.ck_txx(), ck_tnx(), ck_txn(), ck_tnn() (extreme values);
ck_tx10p(), ck_tn10p(), ck_tx90p(), ck_tn90p(),
ck_r95p(), ck_r99p() (calendar-day percentile base, default
reference period 1961-1990); ck_wsdi(), ck_csdi() (proper
calendar-day spell duration). ck_growing_season() was already
ETCCDI-compliant.ck_warm_spell() is retained as a quick series-quantile
approximation; its documentation now points to ck_wsdi() for the
canonical ETCCDI definition.ck_hwn(), ck_hwf(), ck_hwd(), ck_hwm(), ck_hwa()
(number, frequency, duration, magnitude, amplitude). Cold-wave
duals: ck_cwn(), ck_cwf(), ck_cwd(), ck_cwm(), ck_cwa().ck_cwd() here is the
ET-SCI cold-wave version; ck_wet_days() is the ETCCDI
precipitation index. Both function-level documentation pages
cross-reference the other.ck_etccdi_27() returns the canonical 27 'ETCCDI' indices as a
data frame with code, name, variable, unit, definition,
ck_function, and status columns. Use it to audit coverage or
to locate the function for a given short code.ck_catalogue() returns the full implementation catalogue (51
rows). ck_browse(sector, standard, search) filters by sector
('agriculture', 'health', 'water', 'energy'), standard ('ETCCDI',
'ET-SCI', 'agroclimatic', etc.), or free-text search.ck_apply_grid(x, fun, dates, ...) applies any ck_* function
over the cells of a 'terra' 'SpatRaster' and returns a SpatRaster
with one layer per output period.ck_from_netcdf(path, var) is a thin convenience wrapper around
terra::rast() for 'netCDF' inputs with file-existence and
argument validation.inst/CITATION provides 'bibentry' records for the package and
for Alexander et al. (2006) and Zhang et al. (2011).climdex-migration documents the function-name
crosswalk from 'climdex.pcic' to climatekit, plus interface-shift
notes (numeric-vector inputs, tidy data-frame outputs, default
reference period).ck_compute() for programmatic index selection.ck_available() and ck_metadata() for index discovery.ck_convert_temp() for temperature unit conversion.Any scripts or data that you put into this service are public.
