Improved Standard Precipitation Index and drought characteristics
International Journal of Global Warming, 2021 In many regions of the world, and particularly in the eastern Mediterranean region, there is a general precipitation decrease tendency according to the global circulation model (GCM) and the regional climate change models (RegCM). Dry spells and their temporal occurrences as droughts affect water resources, and hence, agriculture and food securities ...

Journal of Nature, Science & Technology, 2023 Since ancient times, drought has been one of the worst natural disasters that humanity has experienced. Drought, which is likely to occur locally or regionally can be defined as the lack of precipitation in a certain period of time. Objectively determining long-term droughts in advance enables taking measures against drought.

Multiscale evaluation of the standardized precipitation index as a groundwater drought indicator [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Abstract. The lack of comprehensive groundwater observations at regional and global scales has promoted the use of alternative proxies and indices to quantify and predict groundwater droughts. Among them, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is commonly used to characterize droughts in different compartments of the hydro-meteorological system. In

Application and Comparison of Standardized Precipitation and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Indices for Evaluating Meteorological Drought Condition of Tehran Province [PDF]
مدیریت بیابان, 2014 Numerous indicators for drought monitoring in different time scales have been used for monthly and yearly data series. One of the limitations of conventional indicators such as the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is no attention to the water ...

Spatial-temporal variation and impacts of drought in Xinjiang (Northwest China) during 1961–2015 [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Observations indicate that temperature and precipitation patterns changed dramatically in Xinjiang, northwestern China, between 1961 and 2015. Dramatic changes in climatic conditions can bring about adverse effects.

Interactions between Climate and Land Cover Change over West Africa
Land, 2023 Climate–land interaction over West Africa has often been assessed using climate simulations, although the model-based approach suffers from the limitations of climate models for the region.
