issues about timpctl (calculation Percentile values over all timesteps)

Added by Delei Li almost 11 years ago

Hello dear all,

I am confused about the command (timpctl) to calculate Percentile values over all timesteps. An example in the user guide is

cdo timpctl,90 ifile -timmin ifile -timmax ifile ofile

But why we need the timmin and timmax values when we want to get a certain percentile?? Does anyone have any idea about this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Greetings,
Delei

The idea is to process an unlimited number of time steps. The 2nd and 3rd input file of timpctl contains the minimum and maximum bounds of the histogram. Otherwise the complete input file needs to be scanned two times.
