AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The GRIDMET Drought dataset offers various drought indices like SPI, EDDI, SPEI, and PDSI, calculated from the 4-km daily Gridded Surface Meteorological (GRIDMET) dataset for the contiguous US.
-
The GRIDMET dataset itself provides daily surface data for temperature, precipitation, winds, humidity, and radiation across the contiguous United States from 1979 at ~4km resolution.
-
Both datasets are valuable for climate studies, crop monitoring, and drought assessment.
