The indicator provides robust forecasts of the occurrence of on unusual dry or wet precipitation conditions over the next 6 months. It is computed based on the forecasted Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI-6), derived from the long-range (i.e. seasonal) for...

The indicator provides robust forecasts of the occurrence of on unusual dry or wet precipitation conditions over the next month. It is computed based on the forecasted Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI-1), derived from the long-range (i.e. seasonal) foreca...

The indicator provides robust forecasts of the occurrence of on unusual dry or wet precipitation conditions over the next 3 months. It is computed based on the forecasted Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI-3), derived from the long-range (i.e. seasonal) for...

The NANoREG project: 'A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials', funded by the European Union's 7th Framework Programme, under grant agreement nr. 310584 (http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/107159_en.html) produced two major proje...

Heat- or coldwaves are classified by duration in days starting from more than one day. The present-day heat/cold wave is classified by accumulating all the past consecutive days with heat/cold wave until the present-day. However, for any past date the duration...

Daily interpolated minimum temperature using around 4000 weather stations across Europe and its surrounding areas. The data are interpolated using an inverse distance algorithm searching stations within 200 km distance. Up to a maximum of 20 stations are consi...

Anomalies of maximum daily temperature are computed based on the interpolated maximum temperature data per day from 1981 and up to and including 2010. The temperature results are being used to compute heat- and cold waves and moments of potentially dangerous t...

The Total Water Storage (TWS) Anomaly indicator that is implemented in the Copernicus Global Drought Observatory (GDO) is used for determining the occurrence of long-term hydrological drought conditions, which arise when the TWS reaches values lower than usual...

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...

Combined Drought Indicator (CDI) based on SPI, soil moisture and fAPAR, to identify areas with potential to suffer agricultural drought, areas where the vegetation is already affected by drought conditions, and areas in the recovery process to normal condition...

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...

The 1-month Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI-1) is a meteorological drought indicator to monitor precipitation anomalies over 1-month accumulation periods and is a proxy indicator for immediate impacts of droughts such as reduced soil moisture, snowpack, ...
