(1997, J.Clim: for 1870-1947) +     \nChen et al. (2002, J. Hydromet.: for 1948-1978 + GPCP v2.2 for     \n1979-present. The Dai and Chen P data were adjusted to have the    \nsame mean as the GPCP data over the 1979-1996 period).             \nCalibration (or reference) period is 1950-1979.

See       \nhttp://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cas/catalog/climind/pdsi.html for updates. \nWARNING: PDSI and scPDSI over the higher latitudes (e.g., >50deg.) \nmay not be a good proxy of soil moisutre content. Also, PDSI and   \nscPDSI are highly autocorrelated indices not good at resolving     \nsub-seasonal variations.  Please use with caution!    ";
