Flash Drought indicators at catchment scale for CONUS
- Department of Geosciences, The Pennsylvania State University
Flash droughts are defined by the rapid onset and intensification of drought conditions - a feature common across various proposed indicators. However, the absence of a standardized definition and detection method makes them particularly difficult to anticipate and manage. This dataset includes flash drought classifications based on six different methods across 222 catchments (4-digit Hydrologic Units, HUC4) in the Contiguous United States (CONUS) from 1983 to 2023. It also includes the pairwise agreement between indicators and the event-level multi-indicator agreement. For a detailed description of each file, refer to README_MSDlive.pdf
