@Name      = EcaRx5day

@Class     = ECA index
@Arguments = ifile ofile
@Operators = eca_rx5day

@BeginDescription
Let @file{ifile} be a time series of 5-day precipitation totals RR,
then the maximum of RR is written to @file{ofile}. A further output
variable is the number of 5 day period with precipitation totals
greater than x mm, where x is an optional parameter with default
x = 50 mm.
The date information for a time step in @file{ofile} is the date of
the last contributing time step in @file{ifile}.

@Parameter = [x]

@BeginParameter
@Item = x
FLOAT   Precipitation threshold (mm, default: x = 50 mm)
@EndParameter


@BeginExample
To get the maximum of a time series of 5-day precipitation totals, use:
@BeginVerbatim
   cdo eca_rx5day rrfile ofile
@EndVerbatim
Apart from metadata information, the above operation yields the same as:
@BeginVerbatim
   cdo timmax rrfile ofile
@EndVerbatim
