eca_sdii threshold

Added by François Roberge about 4 years ago

Hello,

For eca_sdii, is a wet day considered here a day where (RR > R) or (RR >= R)?

According to the documentation when typing

cdo --help eca_sdii
    Let infile be a time series of the daily precipitation amount RR, then the mean precipitation amount at 
    wet days (RR > R) is written to outfile. R is an optional parameter with default R = 1 mm.
    The date information of a timestep in outfile is the date of the last contributing timestep in infile.

However, when looking at the long_name in the resulting netcdf file :

simple_daily_intensity_index_per_time_period:long_name = "Simple daily intensity index is the mean of precipitation amount on wet days. A wet day is a day with precipitation sum of at least 1 mm. The time period should be defined by the bounds of the time coordinate." ;

According to the documentation, it is (RR > R), but it seems like in the resulting netcdf file, it is (RR >= R).

Thank you very much

hi François,

looking at the implementation it's definitely '>='. docu needs a fix here - thx for hint.

cheers
