GridMET Drought - 4km - Pentad¶
Description¶
The gridMET drought indices are computed using the daily gridMET dataset (which is a surface meteorological dataset based on PRISM and NLDAS-2). The drought indices computed are for the standardized indices of SPI, SPEI and EDDI and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and Palmer Z-Index.
