Adapting agriculture to drought and extreme events [PDF]
Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2012 T he 2012 drought, one of the worst during the last 80 years or more, reminds us of the dust bowl of the 1930s (figure 1) and indicates that climate change is a reality rather than a distant threat. The drought has had a severe impact on yields, reducing the predicted grain production for corn per acre at a farm level to levels of production that have ...

Spatial and temporal analysis of drought in Manjalar sub-basin of Vaigai in Tamil Nadu using standardized precipitation index [PDF]
, 2016 Drought is universally acknowledged as a phenomenon associated with scarcity of water. Drought characterization is essential for drought management operations. Using drought indices is a pragmatic way to assimilate large amounts of data into quantitative

Hydrometeorological Extreme Events in West Africa: Droughts
Surveys in Geophysics, 2022 AbstractWest African rainfall is an important part of the global climate system that influences the Atlantic thermohaline circulation, hurricane activities, and dust transport. The water cycle is linked to the monsoon and its interannual to decadal variations.

Drought risk probabilistic models based on extreme value theory
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023 AbstractThe article presents original, probabilistic models for the quantification of drought risk, based on generalized distribution functions for the distribution of maximum values as well as the standardized precipitation index. Using the models, a probabilistic measurement of drought risk has been made for three regions over four 5-year periods for

Remote Sensing, 2015 An extreme drought event is usually a long-term process with different stages. Although it is well known that extreme droughts that have occurred frequently in recent years can substantially affect vegetation growth, few studies have revealed the ...

Impact of extreme seasonal drought on ecosystem carbon‒water coupling across China
Advances in Climate Change ResearchWater use efficiency (WUE) is a critical evaluation indicator of ecosystem responses to climate change and its extremes. However, the influence of the timing of extreme drought on the variation of ecosystem WUE under severe water stress has not been ...
