Drought metrics data derived from AWAP and AGCD. Various drought indices have been computed as part of this dataset, offering a range of metrics for assessing drought conditions. This dataset provides a comprehensive foundation for investigating potential health implications of drought events as no specific drought index has been identified as directly tailored to health-related analyses.
Notes to access the data server:
1. Avoid using $HOME directory as its limited space for large files and heavy data operations.
2. Utilise the “/data” (10TB) and “/data2” (135TB) drives for data storage and operations instead of $HOME.
3. Develop codes as git repositories and push them to GitHub or Bitbucket for version control and backup since no backups are maintained on the server.
4. Software availability:
– R version 4.3.3 (2024-02-29) is already installed centrally.
– For Python, use mamba package and install it under “/data” to prevent filling up $HOME.
5. Data locations:
– AGCD gridded data: /data2/AGCD
6. Central installation includes utilities like ncview, ncdump, etc.
CAUTIONS: installing R packages may default to $HOME; consider specifying installation paths under “/data” to avoid $HOME out of space.
