Comparison of Meteorological Drought Indices in Tanzania Using the Meteorological Drought Monitoring (MDM) Software Package

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology
Low precipitation, substantial evaporation, and an unequal distribution of precipitation throughout the area are the characteristics of drought, a climatic abnormality. This study used the Meteorological Drought Monitoring (MDM) software and monthly rainfall data from the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA) to examine and compare the Deciles Index (

Drought - present and future meteorological hazard. [PDF]

Kvasny Prumysl, 2006
Drought belongs to the climate extremes, which influence many branches of human activities. Selected methods of drought description and their application are reviewed in this contribution. Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) and Palmer Z-index were modified to construct spatial drought climatology for individual regions (e.g.

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 ...
