Potential caveats in land surface model evaluations using the US drought monitor: roles of base periods and drought indicators
The US drought monitor (USDM) has been widely used as an observational reference for evaluating land surface model (LSM) simulation of drought. This study investigates potential caveats in such evaluation when the USDM and LSMs use different base periods and drought indices to identify drought. The...
