Let infile be a time series of 5-day precipitation totals RR, then the maximum of RR is written to outfile. A further output variable is the number of 5 day period with precipitation totals greater than x mm, where x is an optional parameter with default x = 50 mm. Parameter is a comma-separated list of "key=values" pairs.
cdo_eca_rx5day(ifile, x = NULL, freq = NULL, ofile = NULL)cdo_etccdi_rx5day(ifile, x = NULL, freq = NULL, ofile = NULL)
Operators that output one or more files return a character vector to the output files.
Operators that output an indefinite number of files return a string with the basename of the files.
Operatos that don't return filenames return a character vector with the string output.
String with the path to the input file.
FLOAT - Precipitation threshold (unit: mm; default: x = 50 mm)
STRING - Output frequency (year, month)
String with the path to the output file.
eca_rx5day Highest five-day precipitation amount per time period
The operator counts over the entire time series.
The date information of a timestep in outfile is the date of
the last contributing timestep in infile.
etccdi_rx5day Highest five-day precipitation amount per time period
The default output frequency is yearly.
Periods within overlapping years are accounted for the first year.
The date information of a timestep in outfile is the mid of
the frequency interval.
