Fixes

  - Improve CST_PeriodMean() and CST_PeriodAccumulation() in order that

  - 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.
