Harmonized Palmer Drought Severity Indices throughout the Contiguous United States for HydroBASINS basins

In times of a changing hydroclimate and growing human population, there is a need to assess how various climatic and demand conditions influence water availability on the landscape. Tendency for drought conditions is a prime example of a key hydroclimatic metric that is useful for understanding water retention in the surrounding landscape. However, merging drought climatological data with co-located aquatic data is challenging. To facilitate national-scale analyses of basin-level drought conditions (i.e., Palmer Drought Severity Index; PDSI) with co-located water quality data, we present aggregated PDSI data for the contiguous United States. Data are aggregated using the HydroBASINS basin shapefiles. HYBAS_ID is retained to enable merging with HydroBASINS parent datasets.

COM-DROUGHTS Drought Indices

<h3><strong>Data Description:</strong></h3> <p>The COM-DROUGHTS Drought Indices dataset consists of daily time series of three drought indicators for meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological drought for 52 lower lying catchments (mean altitude &lt;1500 m asl) in Switzerland for the period 1991-2099.

Drought and heatwave indicators were derived using daily temperature and precipitation data from the E-OBS gridded dataset.</p> <p>A drought period is identified as a sequence of consecutive months with a negative Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), starting with the first month where the SPI-6 (6-month timescale) falls below -1. Heatwaves are defined as periods of at least three consecutive days where the daily maximum temperature (TX) exceeds the 90th percentile for that specific calendar day, determined using a 31-day running mean centred on the day under evaluation and considering all values from 1950 to 2023. When two or more periods of consecutive exceedances are separated by one day with TX below the threshold, they are considered as a single heatwave occurrence and the day below the threshold is included in the event duration.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the occurrence grids, for each day in a CDHW event, grid cells where both drought and heatwave conditions are detected are flagged as "1". If the compound condition is not met, the cell is flagged as "0". In the severity fields, the severity (dimensionless) for each day in a CDHW event is calculated as the product of the standardized daily TX over the days of the event and the absolute value of SPI-6 in the corresponding month. The calculation of the severity is similar to the one proposed by Mukherjee and Mishra (2021), but with the percentiles used in the standardization of TX varying with the day of the year.&nbsp;</p> <p>The list of CDHW events affecting the Adige River Catchment over 1950-2023 includes the start and end dates, the percentage of the area affected, the total severity (dimensionless), magnitude (dimensionless) and ranking of the event. The total severity of the event is defined as the average of the CDHW severities of all grid cells in the catchment experiencing the CDHW conditions. The total severity of the CDHW event at each grid cell is calculated as the sum of the daily severity values over days flagged as "1". The magnitude is the product of the total severity and the fraction of area affected.
