Physical exposition to droughts events 1980-2001

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

This dataset includes an estimation of the annual physical exposition to drought based on Standardized Precipitation Index.

Description

It is based on three sources: 1) A global monthly gridded precipitation dataset obtained from the Climatic Research Unit (University of East Anglia). 2) A GIS modelling of global Standardized Precipitation Index based on Brad Lyon (IRI, Columbia University) methodology. 3) A population grid for the year 2010, provided by LandScanTM Global Population Database (Oak Ridge, TN: Oak Ridge National Laboratory).

Unit is expected average annual population (2010 as the year of reference) exposed (inhabitants). This product was designed by UNEP/GRID-Europe for the Global Assessment Report on Risk Reduction (GAR). It was modelled using global data.
