radproc.core.hdf5_to_months

radproc.core.hdf5_to_months(HDFFile, year_start, year_end=0)

Wrapper for load_years_and_resample() to import all months of the specified years, merge them together to one DataFrame and resample the latter to monthly precipitation sums.

Parameters:

HDFFile : string

Path and name of the HDF5 file containing monthly datasets.

year_start : integer

First year for which data are to be loaded.

year_end : integer (optional, default: year_start)

Last year for which data are to be loaded.

Returns:

Note

All resampling functions set the label of aggregated intervals at the right, hence every label describes the precipitation accumulated in the previous interval period.
