Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI) The Evaporative Demand Drought Index is an experimental drouht monitoring and early warning duiance tool. It analyzes the atmospheric evaporative demand ("thirst of the atmosphere) over space and time and can be used to identify areas that will see increased moisture loss from evaporation (but does not take additional rainfall into account).
