Arguments

...

Arguments passed to the main function (used by aliases).

index

ETCCDI index name (e.g. "TXx", "Rx1day"). See list_hadex3_indices().

start_year

Start year (1901-2018).

end_year

End year (1901-2018).

north

Northern latitude boundary.

south

Southern latitude boundary.

east

Eastern longitude boundary.

west

Western longitude boundary.

frequency

Temporal frequency: "annual" or "monthly" (default: "annual").

baseline

Reference period for percentile-based indices: "61-90" (default) or "81-10". Only applies to annual frequency.

output_dir

Directory for temporary files (default: tempdir()).

use_cache

Whether to use cached data (default: TRUE).

Value

data.frame with columns: year (+ month for monthly), latitude, longitude, value, index.
