Ranya District drought–vegetation analysis 2010–2025: scripts, cell-level data, SPI series and derived rasters

Scripts, cell-level data, SPI series and derived rasters supporting the article “Short records and corrected inference: a district-scale satellite–rainfall analysis of drought and vegetation response in semi-arid Iraqi Kurdistan, 2010–2025” (Journal of Arid Environments, manuscript JAE26-1599). The deposit covers Ranya District, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, for 2010–2025. It contains the Google Earth Engine extraction scripts, the Python analysis scripts, the district boundary polygon, the monthly cell-level NDVI and rainfall table, the CHIRPS-derived SPI series, the per-pixel correlation and anomaly rasters, the Landsat-mapped Dukan reservoir extent series, and the MODIS valid-observation counts. Every number, figure and table in the manuscript is produced by these scripts from these data. A README in the archive explains the folder structure, lists all input datasets, and documents two properties of the analysis that users should know before reusing it
