GRIDMET DROUGHT: CONUS Drought Indices
This dataset contains drought indices derived from the 4-km daily Gridded Surface Meteorological (GRIDMET) dataset. The drought indices provided include the standardized precipitation index (SPI), the evaporative drought demand index (EDDI), the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and Palmer … climate conus crop drought evapotranspiration geophysical -
SPEIbase: Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index database, Version 2.10
The Global SPEI database (SPEIbase) offers long-time robust information about drought conditions at the global scale, with a 0.5 degree pixel size and monthly cadence. It provides SPEI time scales from 1 to 48 months. The Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) expresses, as a standardized variate … climate climate-change drought evapotranspiration global monthly -
TerraClimate: Monthly Climate and Climatic Water Balance for Global Terrestrial Surfaces, University of Idaho
TerraClimate is a dataset of monthly climate and climatic water balance for global terrestrial surfaces. It uses climatically aided interpolation, combining high-spatial resolution climatological normals from the WorldClim dataset, with coarser spatial resolution, but time-varying data from CRU Ts4.0 and the Japanese 55-year Reanalysis (JRA55). … climate drought evapotranspiration geophysical global merced
