Monthly moisture index developed at University of Delaware
Monthly moisture-index fields were estimated from the gridded monthly total evapotranspiration (Eo) and total precipitation (P) according to Willmott and Feddema (1992). The gridded monthly total potential evapotranspiration (Eo) and total precipitation (P) were taken from the Terrestrial Water Budget Data Archive: Monthly Time Series (1950-1999) (Version 1.02) and the Terrestrial Air Temperature and Precipitation: Monthly and Annual Time Series (1950-1999) (Version 1.02)
