earthkit.climate.land.snow.snw_season_length¶
- earthkit.climate.land.snow.snw_season_length(snw: xarray.DataArray | str = 'snw', ds: xarray.Dataset | Any = None, *, thresh: Any = '4 kg m-2', window: int = 14, freq: str = 'YS-JUL', **kwargs: Any) Any¶
Snow cover duration (amount).
The season starts when the snow amount is above a threshold for at least N consecutive days and stops when it drops below the same threshold for the same number of days.
Units:
snw_season_length: days
This function wraps xclim.indicators.land.snw_season_length.
