icclim is a Python library to compute climate indices. icclim name stands for index, calculation, climate.
Installation
From conda-forge (recommended): conda install -c conda-forge icclim.
From pypi: pip install icclim.
- From sources:
Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/cerfacs-globc/icclim.git
Install icclim pip install .
Compatibility
icclim is designed to stay compatible with the standard Python scientific stack:
Python: Supports Python 3.10 and above.
Core dependencies: Minimum supported versions are declared in pyproject.toml (for example numpy>=1.21, xarray>=2022.6, xclim>=0.45).
Recent stacks: Continuous integration tracks current supported Python versions and the maintained dependency range.
For production environments, prefer current stable dependency releases within the supported range.
How to use icclim
Let’s count the number of days above 25°C for each year, which corresponds to the index SU, from a tasmax variable scattered in multiple netcdf files.
SU is one of the many index that can be computed with icclim. See the documentation to explore what other index you can compute with icclim.
import icclim
summer_days = icclim.su(
"netcdf_files/tasmax_1990-2100.nc", out_file="summer_days.nc"
)For more examples on how to use icclim, see icclim’s How to … documentation or our notebooks.
