Concise description:
The GPCC drought index is a standardized anomaly of precipitation and potential evapotranspiration regarding to long term means. Precipitation data are taken from GPCC's First Guess product and temperature data from "NOAA's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Monthly Global Surface Air Temperature Data Set". Aggregation periods of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 months are calculated. The drought index is available from 2013 until near real-time. The retrospective GPCC drought index is a standardized anomaly of precipitation and potential evapotranspiration regarding long term means for the period 1952 to 2013. Precipitation data are taken from GPCC's "Full Data Monthly" product and temperature data from "NOAA's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Monthly Global Surface Air Temperature Data Set". Aggregation periods of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 months are calculated. The retrospective GPCC drought index is available from 1952 - 2013. ""
