Earth:Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index

From HandWiki

The Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) is a multiscalar Drought index based on climatic data. It was developed by Vicente-Serrano et al. (2010) at the Institute Pirenaico de Ecologia in Zaragoza, Spain .[1] It can be used for determining the onset, duration and magnitude of drought conditions with respect to normal conditions in a variety of natural and managed systems such as crops, ecosystems, rivers, water resources, etc.[2][3][4]

SPEI Classification[5]
Value classification
2.0 or more Extremely Wet
1.5 to 1.99 Very Wet
1.0 to 1.49 Moderate Wet
-0.99 to 0.99 Normal
-1.0 to -1.49 Moderate Dry
-1.5 to -1.99 Very Dry
-2.0 or less Extremely Dry
