Physical Exposition to Drought Events in the GHA Region

This dataset includes an estimation of the annual physical exposition to drought based on Standardized Precipitation Index. It is based on three sources: 1) A global monthly gridded precipitation dataset obtained from the Climatic Research Unit (University of East Anglia). 2) A GIS modelling of global Standardized Precipitation Index based on Brad Lyon (IRI, Columbia University) methodology. 3) A population grid for the year 2010, provided by LandScanTM Global Population Database (Oak Ridge, TN: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
