What exactly do you mean with this comment and what should we change in your opinion?
Hot_spell (Tmax > 30); Heat_wave (Tmax >27, Tmin>22). We need to have heat_wave_frequency, heat_wave_max_length, and heat_wave_total_length ... which give us information on frequency, intensity and duration of events.
In xclim "threshold_file" we found the heat_wave_index 'contradicted' the Heat_wave def'n above, but sounded like Heat_spell
heat_wave_index definition is too close (aka similar) to heat_spell in file labelled "thresholds". We need to ensure that heat_wave and heat_spell definitions are distinct from one another. There already are a heat_wave definitions, we (likely) need to update the one in the "thresholds"_file.
