Title
Copernicus Meteorological Drought Tracking (ERA5)
Description
The Indicator for Meteorological Drought Tracking provides a clear spatio-temporal identification of persistent low-precipitation conditions at the global scale and at near real-time. It provides the outline and the duration and total spatial extent of drought clusters. The indicator is based on the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for 3-months accumulation periods (i.e. SPI-3). The SPI indicator is derived from the ERA5 fifth generation reanalysis for the global climate and weather of the ECMWF, with baseline 1991-2020. Drought events are identified by means of a three dimensional density-based clustering algorithm (DBSCAN).
