Other

• Included CITATION file in the pacakge

CSIndicators 2023-11-20

Fixes

• Improve CST_PeriodMean() and CST_PeriodAccumulation() in order that Dates from the s2dv_cube reflect time aggregation.

• This package is intended for sub-seasonal, seasonal and decadal climate predictions, but its methods are also applicable to other time-scales. Additionally, the outputs of the functions in this package are compatible with 'CSTools'. This package was developed in the context of H2020 MED-GOLD (776467) and S2S4E (776787) projects.
