Use of soil and climate data to assess the risk of agricultural drought for policy support in Europe. [PDF]
, 2001 This paper describes the use of soil and climatic data for assessing the risk of drought in Europe. Soil moisture regimes are defined for soil classification purposes and these can be used to delineate areas with the same type of soil climate.

Drought response analysis based on cross wavelet transform and mutual entropy
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2020 Drought exerts a significant impact on the sustainable development of social economy. For sustainable water use and rapid drought response, it is very meaningful to explore the correlation between meteorological drought and hydrological drought.

Estimating propagation probability from meteorological to ecological droughts using a hybrid machine learning copula method [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 The impact of droughts on vegetation is essentially manifested as the transition of water shortage from the meteorological to ecological stages. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of drought propagation from meteorological to ecological drought is ...

Reliability of meteorological drought indices for predicting soil moisture droughts [PDF]
, 2016 Abstract. Meteorological drought indices based on precipitation and/or evaporation are commonly used to detect the presence, severity and duration of soil moisture droughts. However, it is debatable whether droughts can be adequately characterised using only precipitation and/evaporation, or whether more physical based methods using soil water deficits

On the key role of droughts in the dynamics of summer fires in Mediterranean Europe [PDF]
, 2017 Summer fires frequently rage across Mediterranean Europe, often intensified by high temperatures and droughts. According to the state-of-the-art regional fire risk projections, in forthcoming decades climate effects are expected to become stronger and ...

A Global Probabilistic Dataset for Monitoring Meteorological Droughts [PDF]
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2020 AbstractAccurate and timely drought information is essential to move from postcrisis to preimpact drought-risk management. A number of drought datasets are already available. They cover the last three decades and provide data in near–real time (using different sources), but they are all “deterministic” (i.e., single realization), and input and output ...
