Drought monitoring using deciles index standardized precipitation index and effective Drought index in tehran province iran

Using of SPI and PN index for determination of drought in the Fars province

Aridity and drought are two inevitable occurrences of the climate change in the region. So, any kinds of planning and futurism, without regard to them, lead to failure. Climate change cause drought phenomenon. The anomalies and irregularities in the precipitation mainly cause drought. Fars Province, one of the important centers of agriculture, population and industry in the country, with specif...

Drought monitoring using MODIS data and its comparison with SPI meteorological index in short periods (Case study: Jaz_Murian basin)

Drought is one of the most important threats for agricultural production in the world, espatially in Iran. This phenomenon has started with reduction of precipitations that lead to a decrease in soil moisture and an increase in soil surface temperature, which affect the vegetation growth. The purpose of this study was to investigate droughts in the Jaz_Murian basin by VHI, VCI, TCI and SPI indi...

Monitoring Meteorological Drought in Iran Using Remote Sensing and Drought Indices

Drought is a major environmental disaster in many parts of the world. Knowledge about the timing, severity and extentof drought can aid planning and decision-making. Drought indices derived from in-situ meteorological data have coarsespatial and temporal resolutions, thus, obtaining a real-time drought condition over a large area is difficult. This studyused advanced very high resolution radiom...

A new method for evaluation and comprehensive drought Monitoring in the Urmia Lake Basin using a Synthesized Drought Index (SDI)

Drought is a complex phenomenon caused by the breaking of water balance and it has always an impact on agricultural, ecological and socio-economic spheres. Although the drought indices deriving from remote sensing data have been used to monitor meteorological or agricultural drought, there are no indices that can suitably reflect the comprehensive information of drought from meteorological to a...
