Notes about this product:
  • Drought classification: D1 -0.8 > SPI > -1.2; D2 -1.3 > SPI > -1.5; D3 -1.6 > SPI > -1.9; and D4 SPI < -2
  • Data Source: National Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME)
  • GeoTIFF: Undefined value is -999.
  • Month-1 forecasts are monthly-mean forecasts for the month the same as the initial conditions (ICs). Month-2 forecasts are monthly-mean forecasts for the month after the ICs. For example, for ICs of 1-5 Jan 2013, month-1 forecasts are monthly-mean forecasts for Jan 2013 and month-2 forecasts are forecasts for Feb 2013.
