title: 'ClimateAnomaly: Rainfall and Temperature Anomaly Indices for Climate Analysis'
version: 1.0.0
abstract: Computes rainfall anomaly indices and a standardised temperature anomaly
  from monthly or annual precipitation and temperature data supplied by the user.
  The rainfall indices are the Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI; Van Rooy, 1965), the Modified
  Rainfall Anomaly Index (MRAI) and the Standardized Rainfall Anomaly Index (SRAI)
  of Ekpetere (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.124160>, the Simplified
  Standardized Precipitation Index (SSPI) of Raziei (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2021.126761>,
  and the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI; McKee et al., 1993). The temperature
  anomaly is a z-score computed within each calendar month. All indices are computed
  group-wise, so the user can stratify by any combination of spatial units (state,
  district, grid cell) and calendar month, and each value can be classified into a
  descriptive severity class.
