computeClimdex: Compute a comprehensive set of climdex indices

Description

This function computes a comprehensive set of indices using the climdex.pcic package.

Usage

computeClimdex(myClimdex)

Arguments

myClimdex

A climdexInput object.

Value

A list:

annual.climdex

A zoo object containing a comprehensive set of annual climdex indices.

monthly.climdex

A zoo object containing a comprehensive set of monthly climdex indices.

Details

This function calls a number of functions for annual and monthly indices from the climdex.pcic package.

The following annual indices are computed, always using the default options of the climdex.pcic package: cdd, cwd, fd, id, r20mm, r99ptot, rx1day, sdii, tn10p, tnn, tr, tx90p, txx, csdi, dtr, gsl, prcptot, r10mm, r95ptot, rnnmm, rx5day, su, tn90p, tnx, tx10p, txn, wsdi.
