Europe Drought Indicator, 2024
Weekly raster time series of the Combined Drought Indicator (CDI) for Europe, produced by
the Copernicus European Drought Observatory (EDO). The CDI classifies drought conditions on
a 0–6 ordinal scale, combining precipitation deficit (SPI), soil moisture anomaly, and
vegetation anomaly (FAPAR) to identify areas in Watch, Warning, or Alert drought stages.
