Data and codes for the paper Drought Propagation and Recovery Behaviours Across 407 Australian Catchments

This research investigates the characteristics of drought propagation and recovery time lags for droughts of four timescales and a combination of drought onset and cessation criteria in 407 unregulated catchments within six major precipitation zones across Australia. This helps understand the linkages between meteorological, hydrological and agricultural droughts which is crucial to building resilience and planning for future climate changes.
The following files contain catchment properties and R scripts for lag calculation and generating the figures. It also contains generated data files in .csv format.
