Palate breadth of South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens), South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) and Franciscana dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) from Río de la Plata estuary. Stable isotope values (δ13C and δ15N) and standard length of the Franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) and potential prey species off Río de la Plata estuary. δ13C and δ15N: values not corrected for isotopic baseline shifts; δ13Ccor and δ15Ncor: values corrected for isotopic baseline shifts.

The bone stable oxygen isotope values and the distance of the stranding site from the innermost point of the estuary for thirteen marine mammal species (Otaria flavescens, Arctocephalus australis, Pontoporia blainvillei, Ziphius cavirostris, Phocoena dioptrica, Phocoena spinipinnis, Delphinus delphis, Globicephala melas, Grampus griseus, Lagenodelphis hosei, Orcinus orca, Pseudorca crassidens and Tursiops truncatus) from the Río de la Plata estuary and the adjoining western South Atlantic Ocean. Stable oxygen isotope values (δ18O) are reported relative to the Vienna Standard Mean Oceanic Water (V-SMOW).

The dataset is freely available on the web repository of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in three different formats (NetCDF, binary raster, and plain text)., Format: netcdf The netcdf archive is composed of 96 zipped files containing the spei dataset from 1901 to 2006 at 1 to 48 months time scales, separated for the East hemisphere (i.e. Europa, Africa, Asia and Australia) and the West hemisphere (the Americas). Each zipped file contains one single netCDF file (.nc), i.e. no header files are necessary because all necessary meta-data are self-contained in the .nc file. Naming convention spei_[tempscale]_[hemisphere].zip, where [tempscale] is a number between 1 and 48 indicating the temporal scale of the index (months), and [hemisphere] indicates the fraction of the World covered and can have values eh (East hemisphere) or wh (West hemisphere).

Any rights in individual contents of the database are licensed under the Database Contents License. Users of the dataset are free to share, create and adapt under the conditions of attribution and share-alike. Use of the newest version is recommended. Older versions are still available to allow replicability., All currently available gridded drought datasets at continental and global scales are based on either the PDSI or the sc-PDSI. A new global drought dataset based on the Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) has been developed, which covers time scales from 1-48 months at a spatial resolution of 0.5°, and provides temporal coverage for the period 1901-2006. This dataset represents an improvement in spatial resolution and operative capability of previous gridded drought datasets based on the PDSI, and enables identification of various drought types., A monthly global dataset of a multiscalar drought index is presented and compared in terms of spatial and temporal variability with the existing continental and global drought datasets based on the Palmer drought severity index (PDSI, scPDSI). The new dataset is based on the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The index was obtained from the CRU TS3.0 data, covering time scales from 1 to 48 months for the period 1901-2006, and has a spatial resolution of 0.5°. The advantages of the new dataset are that: i) it improves the spatial resolution of the unique global drought dataset at a global scale; ii) it is spatially and temporally comparable to other datasets, given the probabilistic nature of the SPEI, and, in particular; iii) it enables identification of various drought types, given the multiscalar character of the SPEI.

Each zipped file contains three files, one with the data itselt (.img), and two headers (.doc and .hdr). The information contained in the header files is equivalent, and allows direct access to the data using some widely used commercial programs.

It has a multi-scale character, providing SPEI time-scales between 1 and 48 months. The Standardized Precipitatin-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) expresses, as a standardized variate (mean zero and unit variance), the deviations of the current climatic balance (precipitation minus evapotranspiration potential) with respect to the long-term balance. The reference period for the calculation, in the SPEIbase, corresponds to the whole study period. Being a standardized variate means that the SPEI condition can be compared across space and time. Calculation of the evapotranspiration potential in SPEIbase is based on the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. Data type: float; units: z-values (standard deviations). No land pixels are assigned a value of 1.0x10^30. In some rare cases it was not possible to achieve a good fit to the log-logistic distribution, resulting in a NAN (not a number) value in the database.
