## Create a climdexInput object from some data already loaded in and
## ready to go.
## tmax.data, tmin.data, and prec.data are vectors of real numbers.
ci <- climdexInput.raw(tmax.data, tmin.data, prec.data,
tmax.dates, tmin.dates, prec.dates, base.range=c(1971, 2000))

## Create a timeseries of monthly maximum 5-day consecutive
## precipitation.
rx5day <- climdex.rx5day(ci)

## Create a timeseries of monthly maximum 1-day precipitation.
rx1day <- climdex.rx1day(ci)
