Annual probability of extreme heat and drought events, derived from Lange et al 2020

The time series of extreme events given by Lange et al has been processed into an annual probability of occurrence by researchers at the University of Oxford, using the pipeline available online at https://github.com/nismod/infra-risk-vis/blob/45d8974c311067141ee6fcaa1321c7ecdaa59752/etl/pipelines/isimip/Snakefile - this is a draft dataset, used for visualisation in https://global.infrastructureresilience.org/ but not otherwise reviewed or published.<br> <br> If you use this, please cite: Lange, S., Volkholz, J., Geiger, T., Zhao, F., Vega, I., Veldkamp, T., et al.

(2019), respectively.<br> <br> Event definitions are given in Lange et al, table 1. Land area is exposed to drought if monthly soil moisture falls below the 2.5th percentile of the preindustrial baseline distribution for at least seven consecutive months. Land area is exposed to extreme heat if both a relative indicator based on temperature (Russo et al 2015, 2017) and an absolute indicator based on temperature and relative humidity (Masterton &amp; Richardson, 1979) exceed their respective threshold value.
