Stochastic Forecasting of Drought Indices
2007Unlike other natural disasters, drought events evolve slowly in time and their impacts generally span a long period of time. Such features do make possible a more effective mitigation of the most adverse effects, provided a timely monitoring of an incoming drought is available Among the several proposed drought monitoring indices, the Standardized ...

Drought Characterization Using Drought Indices and El Niño Effects
National Academy Science Letters, 2020Droughts are extreme meteorological and hydrological events having severe impacts on the natural environment and socioeconomic conditions of the affected region. Drought characterization is vital in planning, design, and management of water resources systems.

Quantification of Drought Condition Using Drought Indices: A Review
2021Climate change is becoming a reason for the increased frequency of drought reported in many parts of the world. An increase in temperature results in the increase in soil evaporation, thus rendering low precipitation periods drier under otherwise cooler conditions. For drought prediction, it is important to quantify the drought conditions.

Monitoring Drought: An Evaluation of Meteorological Drought Indices
Geography Compass, 2009Abstract A uniform method for defining, monitoring and quantifying the severity of drought conditions does not exist. This article introduces some of the tools (e.g. drought indices) that are commonly used in the United States to monitor meteorological drought, describes the strengths and weaknesses of these tools, and makes ...

The Quantification of Drought: An Evaluation of Drought Indices
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2002Abstract Indices for objectively quantifying the severity of meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological forms of drought are discussed. Indices for each drought form are judged according to six weighted evaluation criteria: robustness, tractability, transparency, sophistication, extendability, and dimensionality.

Using and Testing Drought Indicators
2009Several drought indices have been applied to different hydrological time series relevant to droughts in the Community of Madrid and its water supply system, managed by public company Canal de Isabel II (CYII). Results have been studied in order to establish how much useful information can be drawn from them with emphasis in its diagnosis ability and ...

Climate Change and Drought: a Perspective on Drought Indices
Current Climate Change Reports, 2018Droughts occur naturally, but climate change has generally accelerated the hydrological processes to make them set in quicker and become more intense, with many consequences, not the least of which is increased wildfire risk. There are different types of drought being studied, such as meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socioeconomic ...
