the effects of climate change, especially due to the increase of greenhouse gasses, have caused lots of problems that have affected different sections of society. one of the most important effects is the increase of natural disasters such as flood, drought, tropical cyclones, raising sea level, dust storm, etc. drought and flood are the most prevalent of these disasters in iran. because of the ...

Droughts produce a complex set of negative economic, environmental, and social impacts across a country or region. Using monthly standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) values, drought characteristics, namely, drought duration, severity, interval time and minimum SPI values, were determined. Two exponential distributions were used to model drought duration and interval time, respectively; gamma ...

Drought is ranked second in type of natural phenomena associated with billion dollars weather disaster during the past years. It estimated that EU countries number people affected by drought was increased 20% over last decades. widely recognized Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) can effectively provide characteristics time and space. The paper questions standard approach to estimate SPI ba...

drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. it is normally performed using various drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables. in many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. geostatistical methods allow the interpolation of spatially referenced data and the prediction of values...

Drought in South Asia affect food and water security and pose challenges for millions of people. For policy-making, planning, and management of water resources at sub-basin or administrative levels, high-resolution datasets of precipitation and air temperature are required in near-real time. We develop a high-resolution (0.05°) bias-corrected precipitation and temperature data that can be used ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the patterns and trends drought occurrence in northern part Poland on example Łeba river basin years 1956–2015. meteorological was conducted basis Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) scale 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months. Annual precipitation totals did not show significant changes analyzed period, except for station Wejherowo, which characterized by a increasin...

Background. Surgical noxious stimuli generate a stress response with an increased sympathetic activity, potentially affecting the perioperative outcome. Surgical Pleth Index (SPI), derived from the pulse plethysmogram, has been proposed as a tool to assess nociception-antinociception balance. The relationship between SPI and autonomic nervous system (ANS) during general anesthesia is poorly und...

This study is intended to examine the past drought and predict future drought scenarios for Arkansas-Red River Basin with comprehensive drought indices ranging from meteorology, hydrometeorology to hydrology. In this proceeding, we present some early results and analysis with the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). Historical climate data within ...
