Various methodologies have been proposed for identification, quantification and monitoring of drought phenomena. Among them, Crop Moisture Index (CMI) is used for monitor short-term changes in moisture conditions affecting crops (Palmer 1968).
Hi
Maybe you can benefit from this. A calculation software (with a manual) is available on this website.

Did you visit NOAA site? or National Drought Mitigation Center?
I have used SPI for my Msc thesis. As far as I can remember there were useful information about Drought Indices.
Best,

Tqvm for your comments. Actually I have used PDSI.EXE and weekly data to calculate CMI, but I am looking for the theoretical method of CMI.
Hi,
Here is the original paper from Palmer (1968):

Dear All,
The following link (scPDSI written code) may aid you to understand CMI. (see Lines 3087-3245).
