Full Details
- Title:
- Global Drought Hazard {1902-2018}
- Description:
- The Global Drought Hazard project is a collection of spatial raster datasets that provide access to statistical extreme value analyses of the Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (6-month SPEI) to identify high risk areas on a global scale. The source data are monthly spatial raster datasets from the [Climatology and Climate Services Laboratory's Global SPEI Database](https://spei.csic.es/spei_database/#map_name=spei06) for the period from January 1902 to December 2018. Each raster dataset has a spatial resolution of about 0.5 degrees, the values of which we converted into time series for each grid cell. These time series are used to model the number of months above selected SPEI thresholds (e.g. SPEI -1.5 or lower) for a range of return periods (e.g. 100 years) via Poisson-Generalized Pareto Point Process models.
