A Python package for analysing the land surface response to dry spells.
This package is a set of helper routines for running the dry spell land surface temperature analysis described in,

If you are installing the package from this source using setuptools there are
prerequisites listed below that must be satisfied prior to running,
pip install .
This package requires Python 3; Python 2 is not supported. This package uses
Cartopy, which has several dependencies that cannot be satisfied through
setuptools, so must be available prior to running the installation. These
are cython (version 0.15.1 or later), numpy (version 1.14 or later),
udunits2, cf-units (version 2 or later), geos, proj and pyke.
NB Here geos is the Geometry Engine, Open Source not
the Google Earth Overlay Server, which is what
you get if you pip install geos.
