Descripción
Sumario:[EN] The dataset is comprised of 48 NetCDF files, each representing a distinct temporal scale spanning from 1 to 48 months. It can be accessed and manipulated using various software tools, including GIS applications like QGIS and ArcMap, specialized applications like Panoply (https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/), and dedicated libraries such as ncdf4, raster, or terra in R, as well as netCDF4 or xarray in Python, among others. Each NetCDF file contains a 3-dimensional matrix with dimensions of 720x360x1476. Land pixels are marked with the value 1.0x10^30, and occasionally, calculation errors may lead to NaN values. The dataset has been generated in R using the SPEI package (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SPEI).
