earthkit-climate 0.3.1

Tools for calculating climate indicies, climate change analysis and attribution.

Quick Start • Documentation

[!IMPORTANT] This software is Emerging and subject to ECMWF's guidelines on Software Maturity.

earthkit-climate is the package responsible for the climate index calculation within the earthkit ecosystem. It includes a wrapper prototype that allows the use of the xclim python package to compute a large amount of pre-defined climate indices used by the climate science community, and to define new ones.

Quick Start

Install the package in editable mode:

pip install -e .

Example usage:

from earthkit.climate.indicators import precipitation, temperature
from earthkit.climate.utils import conversions

# Example: compute a precipitation index
pr = precipitation.simple_daily_intensity(precip_data, freq="monthly")
