Description: Calculating the monthly conventional and self-calibrating Palmer
    Drought Severity Index (PDSI and scPDSI) using the precipitation and potential
    evapotranspiration data. The function to calculate PDSI is based on the C++ 
    source codes developed by Nathan Wells, Steve Goddard and Michael J. Hayes,
    University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
