`xclim` is an operational Python library for climate services, providing numerous climate-related indicator tools
with an extensible framework for constructing custom climate indicators, statistical downscaling and bias
adjustment of climate model simulations, as well as climate model ensemble analysis tools.

`xclim` is built using `xarray`_ and can seamlessly benefit from the parallelization handling provided by `dask`_.
Its objective is to make it as simple as possible for users to perform typical climate services data treatment workflows.
Leveraging `xarray` and `dask`, users can easily bias-adjust climate simulations over large spatial domains or compute indices from large climate datasets.

For example, the following would compute monthly mean temperature from daily mean temperature:

.. code-block:: python

    import xclim
    import xarray as xr

    ds = xr.open_dataset(filename)
    tg = xclim.atmos.tg_mean(ds.tas, freq="MS")

For applications where metadata and missing values are important to get right, `xclim` provides a class for each index
that validates inputs, checks for missing values, converts units and assigns metadata attributes to the output.
This also provides a mechanism for users to customize the indices to their own specifications and preferences.
`xclim` currently provides over 150 indices related to mean, minimum and maximum daily temperature, daily precipitation,
streamflow and sea ice concentration, numerous bias-adjustment algorithms, as well as a dedicated module for ensemble analysis.

Quick Install
-------------
`xclim` can be installed from PyPI:

.. code-block:: shell

    $ pip install xclim

or from Anaconda (conda-forge):

.. code-block:: shell

    $ conda install -c conda-forge xclim

Documentation

.. _In-Depth Examples: https://xclim.readthedocs.io/en/stable/notebooks/index.html

Conventions
-----------
In order to provide a coherent interface, `xclim` tries to follow different sets of conventions. In particular, input data should follow the `CF conventions`_ whenever possible for variable attributes. Variable names are usually the ones used in `CMIP6`_, when they exist.

However, `xclim` will *always* assume the temporal coordinate is named "time". If your data uses another name (for example: "T"), you can rename the variable with:

.. code-block:: python

    ds = ds.rename(T="time")

`xclim` employs a `black`_-compatible code formatting style (via a modified `ruff`_ configuration) and (mostly) adheres to the `NumPy docstring`_ style. For more information on coding and development conventions, see the `Contributing Guidelines`_.

Energy and Carbon Usage
-----------------------
The `xclim` development team is interested in thoroughly testing our software while also reducing the environmental impact of the software we develop.
This repository uses the `ECO-CI`_ tool to estimate and track the energy use and carbon emissions of our continuous integration workflows.
