چکیده

Abstract. Drought indices are hard to balance in terms of versatility (effectiveness for multiple types drought), flexibility timescales, and inclusivity (to what extent they include all physical processes). A lack consistent source data increases the difficulty quantifying drought. Here, we present a global monthly drought dataset with spatial resolution 0.25? from 1948 2010 based on multitype multiscalar index, standardized moisture anomaly index incorporating snow dynamics (SZIsnow), driven by systematic fields an advanced assimilation system. The proposed SZIsnow includes different water–energy processes, especially processes. Our evaluation demonstrates its ability distinguish across timescales. assessment also indicates that adequately captures droughts scales. consideration processes improved capability SZIsnow, improvement is particularly evident over snow-covered high-latitude (e.g., Arctic region) high-altitude areas Tibetan Plateau). We found 59.66 % Earth's land area exhibited drying trend between 2010, remaining 40.34 wetting trend. results indicate can be employed capture large-scale events occurred world. analysis shows there were 525 larger than 500 000 km2 globally during study period, which 68.38 had duration longer 6 months. Therefore, this new well suited monitoring, assessing, characterizing serve as valuable resource future studies. database available at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5627369 (Wu et al., 2021).

A baseline probabilistic drought forecasting framework using standardized soil moisture index: application to the 2012 United States drought

The 2012 drought was one of the most extensive drought events in half a century, resulting in over USD 12 billion in economic loss in the United States and substantial indirect impacts on global food security and commodity prices. An important feature of the 2012 drought was rapid development and intensification in late spring/early summer, a critical time for crop development and investment pl...

Development of a remotely sensing seasonal vegetationbased Palmer Drought Severity Index and its application of global drought monitoring over 19822011

Vegetation effects are currently disregarded in Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), and the sensitivity of PDSI to the choice of potential evaporation (EP) parameterization is often a concern. We developed a revised self-calibrating PDSI model that replaces EP with leaf area index-based total evapotranspiration (ARTS E0). It also included a simple snowmelt module. Using a unique satellite lea...

Multivariate Standardized Drought Index: A parametric multi-index model

Defining droughts based on a single variable/index (e.g., precipitation, soil moisture, or runoff) may not be sufficient for reliable risk assessment and decision-making. In this paper, a multivariate, multiindex droughtmodeling approach is proposed using the concept of copulas. The proposed model, named Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI), probabilist ically combines the Standardize...

Assessment of Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI) and Meteoro-Agricultural Drought Monitoring in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Porvince

Drought, as one of the most complicated natural events, causes many direct and indirect damages each year. Hence, single variable identification and monitoring of drought may not be appropriate enough for decision-making and management. In this study, in order to monitor the meteorological-agricultural drought in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI)...
