droughtevents: Identify and Characterize Drought Events from Drought Index Time
Series
Detects, describes, and analyzes drought events from time series
of drought indices, such as the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration
Index (SPEI). Identifies drought episodes based on threshold values and calculates
their duration, intensity, severity, and peak month. Includes utilities for summarizing
and visualizing drought dynamics over time. The Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration
Index is described in Vicente-Serrano et al. (2010)
