#'Sum of spell lengths exceeding daily threshold for n-dimensional arrays
#'
#'@description This function returns the number of spells of more than \code{min.length} days which exceed or are below the given \code{threshold} from daily data.
#'
#'@param data A n-dimensional array containing daily data.
#'@param threshold A n-dimensional array with the threshold to be/not to be reach, usually given by the a percentile computed with the \code{Threshold} function.
#'@param op The operator to use to compare data to threshold.
#'@param min.length The minimum spell length to be considered.
#'@param spells.can.span.years Whether spells can span years.
#'@param max.missing.days Maximum number of NA values per time period.
#'@param dates A vector of dates with a calendar attributes. If NULL (by default), the 'time' attributes of parameter 'data' are considered.
#'@param timedim An integer number indicating the position of the time dimension in the parameter \code{data}. If NULL (by default), the dimension called 'time' in parameter \code{data}.
#'@param calendar A character indicating the calendar type.
#'@param ncores The number of cores to be used when computing the extreme.
#'
#'@return A list of length 2:
#'\itemize{
#'  \item\code{$output1}{An array with the same dimensions as the original \code{data}, except the time dimension which is reduced to annual resolution given a timeseries of maximum spell lengths for each year.}
#'  \item\code{$year}{A vector indicating the corresponding years.}
#'}
#'@details This routine compares data to the thresholds using the given operator, generating a series of TRUE or FALSE values; these values are then filtered to remove any sequences of less than \code{min.length} days of TRUE values. It then computes the lengths of the remaining sequences of TRUE values (spells) and sums their lengths. The \code{spells.can.spa .years} option controls whether spells must always terminate at the end of a period, or whether they may continue until the criteria ceases to be met or the end of the data is reached. The default for fclimdex is FALSE.
