Hallo Fitsum, in your example, it only shows for one latitude point. But in real sense, you will be having multiple altitudes. How do you compute this given varying altitudes?
Hello Fitsum how are you? I am working on preparing SPEI map for multiple stations using R studio, provided that I have monthly precipitation, minimum and maximum temperature for 500 Geographic coordinates?
Hello Mr. Fitsum, i love your videos they are very useful! I would like to ask you, how can i plot my SPI results, in this video you made it to the SPEI. i would aprecciate if you can help me, greetings from Colombia.
Thank you very much for the video, it was extremely helpful. I have a question regarding computing SPEI when dealing with multiple locations. Appreciate if you could provide some guidance on how to do this.
hellos sir. I want to ask you some questions, how do yo know the value of gamma, beta and alpha for the SPEI calculation? Is the values for the gamma, alpha and beta is the same with SPI? Did you set up the value of gamma, alpha and beta manually in the R studio. Thank you in advance sir
hello! Sir, thank you for the video! But I have a question when i calculated SPEI, i got a -inf instead of results only for 1 year. I ve checked datasheet, and there everything is OK. Why have i gotten -inf? tnx
Hello sir. I have plotted the SPI graph using plot(spi(ts(data$prcp, frequency = 12, start = c(1957,1)), scale = 1)) to get years on the time axis of the graph. But I noticed that there are also some grey lines in between the blue and red lines. Are these grey lines normal? Also, I have obtained 1-month SPI values which are exactly equal to zero for about 10 months in the same year and this has happened in multiple years. I wanted to ask if this is possible? Thank you.

Nice Video. But How do I calculate SPI to get results for each year. This procedure gives results per month per year, but I want SPI per year NOT per month. What should I do?
@@Fitsum_Teshome Do you mean that since my hydrological year starts in October and ends in September the following year, I could extract the SPEI values for the month of September in each year to get the SPEI values at annual time scale? I want the final output to be like this: Year SPEI 1990 xx 1991 xx 1992 xx I have seen the SPI package in R gives the results in the above format, but the problem is that I cant use it since it does not calculate SPEI
