+Climatic Impact-Drivers
+=======================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+These recipes and the corresponding diagnostic provide plotting routine for a
+selection of the Climatic Impact-Drivers defined in Elling et al. (2026). For
+each of these variables the model output is compared to observational datasets.
+
+
+Available recipes and diagnostics
+---------------------------------
+
+Recipes are stored in `recipes/climatic_impact-drivers`
+
+* recipe_impacts_map.yml
+* recipe_impacts_timeseries.yml
+
+Diagnostics are stored in `diag_scripts/climatic_impact-drivers`
+
+* multi_datasets_with_threshold.py: Monitoring diagnostic to optionally count days exceeding some threshold and plot multiple datasets on a map or timeseries.
+
+
+User settings in recipe
+-----------------------
+
+A full list of all possible configuration options that can be specified in the
+recipe is given at the beginning of the diagnostic script (see previous section).
+
+The most relevant configuration options include:
+
+*Required settings*
+
+* plots: type of plot that is created (map, timeseries)
+
+*Optional settings*
+
+* options: additional pre-processing options that are applied (threshold_conversion: It is required to add the argument 'threshold' with the threshold that should be exceeded with this option, take_derivative)
+
+
+Variables
+---------
+
+Any possible, but mainly designed for tasmin, tasmax, pr, snw, zostoga, tos, mlotst, rsds:
+
+* mlotst (ocean, monthly mean, longitude latitude time)
+* pr (atmos, daily mean, longitude latitude time)
+* rsds (atmos, daily mean, longitude latitude time)
+* snw (atmos, daily mean, longitude latitude time)
+* tasmax (atmos, daily max, longitude latitude time)
+* tasmin (atmos, daily min, longitude latitude time)
+* tos (ocean, monthly mean, longitude latitude time)
+* zostoga (ocean, monthly mean, longitude latitude time)
+
+
+Observations and reformat scripts
+---------------------------------
+
+* ESACCI-SNOW (snw)
+* ERA5 (tasmin, tasmax, pr, rsds - esmvaltool/recipes/cmorizers/recipe_daily_era5.yml)
+* ORAS5 (tos, mlotst)
+
+

+
+   Global map of the average number of days per year on which the precipitation exceeds 10 mm.
