Computing drought length and intensity
Added by Jayantha Obeysekera 4 months ago
I have a netCDF file that has a single variable=Precipitation-Evapotranspiration. I would like to compute drought length (run length) and drought intensity (total/length) when Precip-ET is less than zero or some threshold. Any suggestions how I can do this using CDO?

There are many posts about this in the CDO forums about drought and dry days. And you can search for 'dry days' in the Climate indices with CDO document https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/embedded/cdo_eca.pdf
