Extract compound dry-hot (DH) occurrences based on thresholds of precipitation and temperature. The binary variable of the DH (or dry-warm) event can be obtained.
Usage
GetDH(mp,mt,threp,thret)
Value
The occurrence of compound dry-hot events (0-1 binary variable)
Arguments
mp
Precipitation
mt
Temperature
threp
Threshold of precipitation (e.g., 20th percentile)
thret
Threshold of temperature (e.g., 80th percentile)
