CSIndicators: Climate Services' Indicators Based on Sub-Seasonal to Decadal Predictions

Set of generalised tools for the flexible computation of climate related indicators defined by the user. Each method represents a specific mathematical approach which is combined with the possibility to select an arbitrary time period to define the indicator. This enables a wide range of possibilities to tailor the most suitable indicator for each particular climate service application (agriculture, food security, energy, water management, health...). This package is intended for sub-seasonal, seasonal and decadal climate predictions, but its methods are also applicable to other time-scales, provided the dimensional structure of the input is maintained. Additionally, the outputs of the functions in this package are compatible with 'CSTools'. This package is described in Pérez-Zanón et al. (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.cliser.2023.100393> and it was developed in the context of H2020 MED-GOLD (776467) and S2S4E (776787) projects. See Lledó et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.renene.2019.04.135> and Chou et al., 2023 <doi:10.1016/j.cliser.2023.100345> for details.
