Indicators are the main tool xclim provides to compute climate indices. In contrast to the function defined in xclim.indices, Indicators add a layer of health checks and metadata handling. Indicator objects are split into realms : atmos, land and seaIce.
Virtual modules are also inserted here. A normal installation of xclim comes with three virtual modules:
- :py
xclim.indicators.cf, Indicators defined in cf-index-meta.- :py
xclim.indicators.icclim, Indicators defined by ECAD, as found in python package Icclim.- :py
xclim.indicators.anuclim, Indicators of the Australian National University's Fenner School of Environment and Society.
