With reference to Thirstwave, consider the following statements: I. A thirstwave refers to a period of consecutive days with extreme atmospheric evaporative demand, indicating high moisture demand by the air. II. Unlike heatwaves, thirstwaves are influenced only by temperature and are independent of humidity and wind conditions. III. Thirstwaves are commonly assessed using evapotranspiration metrics that estimate water loss from a well-watered reference surface. How many of the statements given above are correct?
