Evaluation of Drought Indices using the Drought Records [PDF]
Journal of Korea Water Resources Association, 2011 본 연구에서는 가뭄지수들의 적합도와 가뭄의 변동특성을 파악하기 위하여 보고서 등 각종 문헌과 신문기사를 통해 수집한 실제 가뭄발생 기록을 정량화하고 1973년부터 2009년까지 전국 69개 기상관측소의 강수 및 기온 자료를 이용하여 산정한 기후변수와 각종 가뭄지수를 행정구역 별로 산정하여 비교 분석함으로서 기상학적 가뭄지수의 실제 가뭄에 대한 표현정도를 평가하였다. 평가를 위하여 ROC 공간상의 각 지수의 위치정보를 검정통계량으로 이용하였다. 분석결과 전반적으로 비교적 단기가뭄의 평가에 적합한 SPI3, PDSI, PN, Deciles이 실제 가뭄발생 기록과 가장 높은 상관성을 보였다.

Projection of Future Drought Characteristics under Multiple Drought Indices
Water, 2021 Drought is a natural phenomenon caused by the variability of climate. This study was conducted in the Songhua River Basin of China. The drought events were estimated by using the Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) which are based on precipitation (P) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data.
