Units:

• water_cycle_intensity: mm

This function wraps xclim.indicators.atmos.water_cycle_intensity.

Parameters:

• pr (xarray.DataArray | str) – Precipitation flux.

• evspsbl (xarray.DataArray | str) – Actual evapotranspiration flux.

• freq (Any) – Resampling frequency.

• ds (xarray.Dataset | Any) – Input dataset.

• **kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments.

Returns:

The computed index.

Return type:

Any
