Index¶
The [index]
section of a configuration file contains options used to
determine the start and end years of climate indices (such as El Niño
3.4):
[index]
## options related to producing nino index.
# start and end years for El Nino 3.4 analysis. Use endYear = end to indicate
# that the full range of the data should be used. If errorOnMissing = False,
# the start and end year will be clipped to the valid range. Otherwise, out
# of bounds values will lead to an error. In a "control" config file used in
# a "main vs. control" analysis run, the range of years must be valid and
# cannot include "end" because the original data may not be available.
startYear = 1
endYear = end
Start and End Year¶
A custom config file should specify a start and end year for time axis.
If errorOnMissing = False
in the input
section and the start or end
year is beyond the range of the simulation, the range will be reduced to those
dates with available data and a warning message will be displayed. If
errorOnMissing = True
, out of range year will produce an error.
