Short Summary

This corrigendum addresses and rectifies errors found in Figures 6 and 9 of the original article, "Comparisons of SPI and SPEI in capturing drought dynamics: A global assessment across arid and humid regions," which were caused by a coding fault.

Objective

• To correct identified errors in Figures 6 and 9 of the previously published article, specifically addressing repetitions of subgraphs due to a coding error in data invocation for different time scales.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Not applicable to this corrigendum.
• Temporal Scale: Not applicable to this corrigendum.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not applicable to this corrigendum.
• Data sources: Not applicable to this corrigendum.

Main Results

• The corrigendum provides the corrected versions of Figures 6 and 9, resolving the issue where subgraphs were erroneously repeated due to a code failure in looping the invocation of SPI and SPEI data across various time scales (1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month, 12-month, and 24-month).

Contributions

• This corrigendum ensures the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record by correcting significant visual errors in the original publication, thereby preventing potential misinterpretation of the study's findings.

Funding

• Not specified in this corrigendum.
