摘要
A new multiscalar drought dataset, the SPEIbase, made available to the scientific and management community is presented. The multiscalar character of the dataset allows finding the most appropriate time scale of interest for a specific application, so potential uses of the dataset range over a wide variety of disciplines. The dataset (in three file formats) is distributed under an open license. Further work includes updating the dataset past December 2006, depending on the data availability. © 2010 American Meteorological Society.
