Global Drought Hazard Frequency and Distribution
Entry ID:
CIESIN_CHRR_NDH_DROUGHT_HFD
Summary
Abstract:
Global Drought Hazard Frequency and Distribution is a 2.5 minute grid based upon the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction's (IRI) Weighted Anomaly of Standardized Precipitation (WASP). Utilizing average monthly precipitation data from 1980 through 2000 at a resolution of 2.5 degrees, WASP assesses the precipitation deficit or surplus over a three month temporal window that ...
 Purpose: To provide a means of assessing the relative distribution and frequency of global drought hazard.

Quality
One of the goals of the ARM Program is to provide data streams of reasonable
quality for scientific research. Traditionally, data quality issues have been addressed within ARM at several levels, including by instrument mentors, site scientists, value added product scientists, and Science Team members at large. Maintaining data quality for a program of the size and ...
Access Constraints
Data of common interest from external sources are shared whenever possible, but
some sources restrict secondary distribution of data. In these cases, ARM will seek specific allowances to distribute such data to members of the ARM Science Team, but will observe restrictions on further distribution from the Archive if required.
Use Constraints
Use-constraints, if any, are provided in Data Quality Reports sent with the
data files when data are requested. The automatic inclusion of a data originator as a co-author is not insisted upon in the ARM program, but the source of any data should be clearly recognized either as a co-author or through an appropriate acknowledgment. The ARM Program should be acknowledged ... Ancillary Keywords
