ECA&D indices

icclim 5.2 comes with convenience functions to call each individual index from icclim namespace. These functions are autogenerated and are stored in _generated/_ecad.py. Custom climate calculations should now be expressed with the generic index API rather than the deprecated user_index bridge.

For example, to use this API with the index su you can do:

import glob
import icclim


tasmax = glob.glob("netcdf_files/tasmax*.nc")

# Old API
# via icclim::index
summer_days = icclim.index(in_files=tasmax, index_name="SU")
# New API
## via the ECAD module
summer_days = icclim.ecad.su(in_files=tasmax)
## via generic indices (output metadata will be different)
summer_days = icclim.count_occurrences(tasmax, threshold="> 25 °C")

The full API is now here icclim.ecad.
