Multiscale STWSI using the optimal distributions of terrestrial water storage across global 40 major basins over 2002-2022

A GRACE-based standardized drought index (STWSI) was constructed using the optimal distributions of terrestrial water storage across global 40 major basins over 2002-2022. The STWSI for 1,3,6,12 month scales has been provided.Citation:Ren Chanyue, Zhang Xuanze, et al., 2025, Constructing a new terrestrial water storage index for better understanding hydrological droughts in large river basins, in reviewRen CY, Zhang XZ, Zhang YQ, 2025, Multiscale STWSI using the optimal distributions of terrestrial water storage across global 40 major basins over 2002-2022. doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.28651787.
