ERA5-Drought: Global drought indices based on ECMWF reanalysis. [PDF]
Sci DataAbstract Droughts are increasingly intensified by human-induced climate change and pose a growing threat to society. Thus, enhancing our capabilities to monitor drought occurrence and intensity is crucial. This paper introduces a new dataset of drought indices derived from the 5th generation ECMWF reanalysis system (ERA5), which offers long ...

Using an integrated hydrological model to estimate the usefulness of meteorological drought indices in a changing climate [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Droughts are serious natural hazards, especially in semi-arid regions. They are also difficult to characterize. Various summary metrics representing the dryness level, denoted drought indices, have been developed to quantify droughts.
