Source Code: Climate and Drought Indices in Python (SPI, SPEI, PET)

This is a developmental/forked version of code that was originally developed by NIDIS/NCEI. This project contains Python implementations of various climate index algorithms which provide a geographical and temporal picture of the severity of precipitation and temperature anomalies useful for climate monitoring and research. The most updated version is currently being maintained and developed by independent scientific programmer James Adams on his Github account, which includes feedback and contributions from active users worldwide.
