SPEI datasets derived from the Global SPEI database webpage and developed by Vicente-Serrano et al. (2010). This product is disseminated by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) for the period from January 1901 to December 2018 (118 years, version 2.6). The SPEI datasets at 3-, 6-, and 12-month time scales are gridded over a 0.50-degree grid on the Amazon River Basin. A total of 1416 GeoTIFF files in Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) format, one per month, are provided.
