ecatr: Tropical nights index per time period

In rcdo: Wrapper of 'CDO' Operators

Tropical nights index per time period

Description

Let infile be a time series of the daily minimum temperature TN, then the number of days where TN > T is counted. The number T is an optional parameter with default T = 20°C. Note that TN have to be given in units of Kelvin, whereas T have to be given in degrees Celsius. Parameter is a comma-separated list of "key=values" pairs.

Usage

cdo_eca_tr(ifile, T = NULL, freq = NULL, ofile = NULL)

cdo_etccdi_tr(ifile, T = NULL, freq = NULL, ofile = NULL)

Arguments

ifile	String with the path to the input file.
T	FLOAT - Temperature threshold (unit: °C; default: T = 20°C)
freq	STRING - Output frequency (year, month)
ofile	String with the path to the output file.

Details

eca_tr     Tropical nights index 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_tr  Tropical nights index per time period
           The default output frequency is yearly.
           The date information of a timestep in outfile is the mid of
           the frequency interval.

Value

Operators that output one or more files return a character vector to the output files.

Operators that output an indefinite number of files return a string with the basename of the files.

Operatos that don't return filenames return a character vector with the string output.
