Short summary
Drought is a serious natural hazard that needs to be understood well to minimize impacts on ecology, agriculture, energy supply, and other sectors. In this paper, we compare two different datasets scientists can use to monitor droughts by calculating an indicator called the Standardized Precipitation Index. One dataset is collected by nineteen meteorological stations in our study area, the Seyhan Basin in Turkey. The second is CHIRPS, which contains rainfall data estimated from satellite images.
