Modeling Uncertainty in Drought Products
Description
Droughts can have a substantial impact on agricultural systems and human livelihood. A Python package to calculate various drought indices in being developed. In this project, you will expand on this package and develop methods to test the sensitivity of the models to various input datasets and parameters. In addition, you will develop post-processing code to determine the return period of the drought (is it a 1 in 20 yr event or 1 in 5 yr event?).
