Research brief: How uncertainties in data and drought indices affect drought identification

September 24, 2020 10:22 am Published by Climate Extremes Comments Off

CLEX researchers examined the uncertainties of the input data of three commonly used drought indices, with the data coming from different sources, including observations and reanalysis. The ability of these indices to detect drought was assessed against soil moisture from multiple global land surface models.
