Monthly precipitation and soil moisture data are needed from the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis (MERRA)-Land systems. MERRA-Land data are generated by a 0.66° × 0.50° grid from 1980 onwards.

Data requirements to use: Monthly precipitation and soil moisture data are needed from the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis (MERRA)-Land systems. MERRA-Land data are generated by a 0.66° × 0.50° grid from 1980 onwards.;

Concise description:
Uses information on both precipitation and soil moisture to identify and classify drought episodes by investigating precipitation and soil moisture deficits. It is helpful for identifying drought episodes where typical precipitation-based indicators or soil-moisture-based indicators may not indicate the presence of drought.
