Ability to choose operator for Indicators growing_season_start/end

[nCarolina]

Addressing a Problem?

It would be nice to be able to choose which operator to use for the indicators growing_season_start/growing_season_end. This is possible for the growing_season_length indicator. However, I find it a bit confusing if the default operator ">=" corresponds to the definition under Notes with Tmean > 5 degC and Tmean < 5 degC or if the default behaviour is Tmean >= 5 degC and Tmean <= 5 degC.

Hi @nCarolina!

Indeed, the same addition of the op argument of growing_season_length could be done to the other growing season indicators. FYI, >= is what is currently coded in the start and end functions,

And sorry for the confusing documentation, the default behaviour for growing_season_lenght is "T >= thresh" for a start and "T < thresh" (the boolean opposite) for an end.

Thanks to both of you for this quick response to my request!

@aulemahal Okey, then I understand how it works!
