Streamflow drought: implication of drought definitions and its application for drought forecasting [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Abstract. Streamflow drought forecasting is a key element of contemporary drought early warning systems (DEWS). The term streamflow drought forecasting (not streamflow forecasting), however, has created confusion within the scientific hydrometeorological community as well as in operational weather and water management services.

Drought 2002 in Colorado: An Unprecedented Drought or a Routine Drought? [PDF]
pure and applied geophysics, 2005 The 2002 drought in Colorado was reported by the media and by public figures, and even by a national drought-monitoring agency, as an exceptionally severe drought. In this paper we examine evidence for this claim. Our study shows that, while the impacts of water shortages were exceptional everywhere, the observed precipitation deficit was less than ...

Recent increasing frequency of compound summer drought and heatwaves in Southeast Brazil
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 An increase in the frequency of extremely hot and dry events has been experienced over the past few decades in South America, and particularly in Brazil. Regional climate change projections indicate a future aggravation of this trend.

The Assessment of Time–Area and Clark Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph Models in Estimating Flood Discharge in Bazoft Karoon [PDF]
نشریه جغرافیا و برنامهریزی, 2012 One of the main objectives in hydrology is rainfall–runoff forecasting systems for determination of flood hydrograph in outlet of a watershed. Flood discharge could be estimated using rainfall-runoff models, which explain hydrological phenomena for un ...

Drought legacies and ecosystem responses to subsequent drought
Global Change Biology, 2022 AbstractClimate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially long‐term impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning after the drought has subsided are often called ‘drought legacies’.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 Poverty involves both low income levels and high income uncertainty. Do both these dimensions of being poor capture attention in ways that distort decision-making and trap people in poverty? We examine these issues using real-life shocks faced by farmers in Brazil: random payday variation affecting income levels, and rainfall shocks that affect income ...

Climate change projections from a multi-model ensemble of CORDEX and CMIPs over Angola
Environmental Research: Climate, 2023 Angola has been characterized as one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change. Climate change compounded by existing poverty, a legacy of conflict and other risk factors, currently impede development and are expected to become worse as climate ...
