An enhanced Standardized Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) drought-monitoring method integrating land surface characteristics

<p>Atmospheric evaporative demand is a key metric for monitoring agricultural drought. Existing ways of estimating evaporative demand in drought indices do not faithfully represent the constraints imposed by land surface characteristics and become less accurate over nonuniform land surfaces. T...
