Description

When using xclim or icclim to calculate indices that involve calculating a threshold along the entire time axis (a percentile-based threshold), memory usage can explode for large multi-dimensional (i.e. high lat/lon resolution) arrays.

A solution to this problem (i.e. appropriate file chunking and/or use of dask) needs to be found before we can commit to using xclim or icclim for the calculation of climate indices.
