This layer provides an early warning of persistent extreme wet and dry precipitation events over the world derived from 1-month Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI-1). The forecasts of SPI are derived from the forecasted precipitation provided by the Deutsch...

This indicator outlines persistent anomaly conditions of low precipitation, as discrete events in space and time, at the global scale and at near real-time, every ten days. By providing information on the duration and spatial extent of droughts, it allows for ...

The Risk of Drought Impacts for Agriculture (RDrI-Agri) indicator that is implemented in the Global Drought Observatory (GDO) of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, is used for determining the area more likely to be affected by droughts. Higher risk m...

The LFI indicator exploits the simulated 6-hours river water discharge outputs of the JRC’s in-house LISFLOOD hydrological model, in order to capture unbroken consecutive periods of unusually low streamflow, and compares the consequent water deficit during tho...

The FAPAR Anomaly indicator that is implemented in the Copernicus Global Drought Observatory (GDO) is used to detect and monitor the impacts on vegetation growth and productivity of environmental stress factors, especially plant water stress due to drought. Th...

The FAPAR indicator used in the Copernicus Global Drought Observatory (GDO) is the satellite-measured biophysical variable Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR, sometimes written as fAPAR or FPAR), composited for 10-day intervals, fr...
