GetDH: Occurrence of compound dry-hot events

Description

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)

Examples

mp=matrix(rnorm(20,0,1),ncol=1) # 20-year precipitation of a specific month (e.g., August)
mt=matrix(rnorm(20,0,1),ncol=1) # 20-year temperature of a specific month (e.g., August)
threp=20
thret=80
