Blowing snow days.

The number of days with snowfall, snow depth, and windspeed over given thresholds for a period of days.

Units:

• {freq}_blowing_snow: days

This function wraps xclim.indicators.land.blowing_snow.

Parameters:

• snd (xarray.DataArray | str) – Surface snow depth.

• sfcWind (xarray.DataArray | str) – Wind velocity.

• snd_thresh (Any) – Threshold on net snowfall accumulation over the last window days.

• sfcWind_thresh (Any) – Wind speed threshold.

• window (int) – Period over which snow is accumulated before comparing against threshold.

• freq (str) – Resampling frequency.

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

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

Returns:

The computed index.

Return type:

Any
