Concise description:
Used mainly in wet tropical regions to monitor developing drought, taking into account the defined wet and dry periods in the climate regime. Can be used to monitor droughts that affect agriculture and other sectors. Uses gridded monthly precipitation data on a 0.5° by 0.5° resolution, and is based on 12-month overlapping sums of weighted, standardized monthly precipitation anomalies.
