Improving Drought Monitoring and Early Warning in the Midwest DEWS Using the Evaporative Drought Demand Index (EDDI)
Project Timeline
January 2019 - September 2022
Link for More Information
The goal of this project is to enhance drought-monitoring and early warning across the Midwest DEWS, primarily by improving the applicability and utility of the Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI) towards developing for NIDIS a tool that is both stakeholder-oriented and scientifically supported and that fits the decision-making calendars peculiar to DEWS stakeholders, and has demonstrated utility in flash-drought detection and drought attribution.
