count_heavy_rainfall_intervals
(HDFFile, year_start, year_end, thresholdValue, minArea, season)¶ Creates a DataFrame containing the sum of all heavy rainfalls intervals exceeding a specified threshold intensity value.
- Search parameters are
- rainfall intensity
- minimum area (number of cells) where intensity has to be exceeded
- season / time period
Parameters: - HDFFile : string
- Path and name of the HDF5 file containing monthly pandas DataFrames with precipitation data.
- year_start : integer
- First year for which data are to be loaded.
- year_end : integer
- Last year for which data are to be loaded.
- thresholdValue : integer
- Rainfall intensity threshold value.
- minArea : integer
- Minimum area (number of cells) where intensity threshold value has to be exceeded.
- season : string or list
- Season / Time period to analyse. Can be a list with integer values from 1 to 12 or a string describing the season. The following strings are possible: [“Year” | “May - October” | “November - April” | “January/December” | “Jan” | “Feb” | “Mar” | “Apr” | “May” | “Jun” | “Jul” | “Aug” | “Sep” | “Oct” | “Nov” | “Dec”]
Returns: - interval_count : pandas DataFrame
- containing the sum of all intervals meeting the given criteria. Temporal resolution depending on the given season.
