Previously (#61), the
generate_climos
script was updated to correctly handle variables that count the number of times something happens in a specific time period, likefdETCCDI
(frost days), which counts the number of days where the temperature goes below zero. The number of frost days in a year is the sum of the number of frost days in each month of that year. In order to calculate the average number of frost days per year over a 30-year period, we:This PR expands that framework to also handle variables that measure the minimum or maximum of something, like
tnnETCCDI
, which measure the lowest temperature recorded each month. The yearly value fortnnETCCDI
should be the lowest temperature recorded for that year.rx1dayETCCDI
measures the maximum amount of precipitation that falls in a single day in each month; the value ofrx1dayETCCDI
for a year should the be maximum precipitation that falls in one day of that year.
