Palmer Drought Severity Index
PDSI from the Dai dataset. The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is devised by Palmer (1965) to represent the severity of dry and wet spells over
the U.S. based on monthly temperature and precipitation data as well as the soil-water holding capacity at that location. These data consist of the
monthly PDSI over global land areas from 1850 to 2010. Different precipitation/temperature datasets are used in the different files. Update and more
information are available at CGD (Climate and Global Dynamics Division).
