Global CHIRPS MCWD (Maximum Cumulative Water Deficit) Dataset
Global CHIRPS MCWD Dataset The MCWD (Maximum Cumulative Water Deficit) is a measure of drought severity, which corresponds to the maximum value of the monthly accumulated water deficit reached for each pixel within the year. The MCWD is a useful indicator of meteorologically induced water stress without taking into account local soil conditions and plant adaptations, which are poorly understood in Amazonia. The full method of MCWD is described in Aragão et al. (2007; https://doi.org/10.1029/2006GL028946). Detail about CHIRPS (Rainfall Estimates from Rain Gauge and Satellite Observations) can be found in Funk et al. (2015; https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2015.66). Coverage: Spanning 5…
