Drought monitoring in the Brazilian Semiarid region [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019 Drought is a natural and recurrent phenomenon. It is considered 'a natural disaster' whenever it occurs in an intensive manner in highly populated regions, resulting in significant damage (material and human) and loss (socioeconomic). This paper presents the efforts developed to monitor the impact of drought in the semiarid region of Northeast Brazil ...
