Analysis of the spatiotemporal pattern burned areas over time is necessary to understand how fire behavior in Himalayan region has altered as a result complex climatic variables. The differenced Normalized Burnt Ratio (NBR) calculated utilizing cloud-based platform Google Earth Engine (GEE) quantify extent regions. spatial distribution burnt last 21 years been examined and correlated with edaph...

Droughts affect human well-being and the economy of countries across world. Understanding long-term evolution droughts within a particular region will help in drought mitigation adaptation plans, thereby reducing impact on environment. This study examined multidecadal trends hydrological at two stations along River Niger using 3-month, 6-month, annual time scales. Hydrological events were ident...

The study aims to identify long-term trends in the changes of drought occurrences using Mann-Kendall (MK) test and Theil-Sen estimator. Trend research was carried out on example catchment area Upper Note? River, which covers an agricultural Poland with some lowest water reserves. meteorological droughts were identified based Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), while hydrological determined ...

Growing interest in inequality has generated an outpouring of scholarly research and has brought many discussions on the subject into the public realm. Surprisingly, most of these studies and discussions rely on a narrow set of indicators to measure inequality. Most of the time a single summary measure of inequality is considered: the Gini coefficient. This is surprising not only because there ...

Least squares regression of y on x assumes that the x variate is measured without error, and minimizes the sum of squared vertical distance between the data points y and the fitted regression line. Regression of x on y minimizes the horizontal distances. Adcock [1] in 1878 suggested minimizing the sum of squared horizontal + vertical distances to the predicted values. However the idea of Adcock...

Based on energy balance theory, using Theil–Sen median trend analysis and the Mann–Kendall test, this research studied applicability of complementary theory evapotranspiration (ET) over Ningxia in Upper Reaches Yellow River with MOD16 ET product measured data meteorological stations, based which drought index (EDI) was proposed for first time. Moreover, usability EDI also verified its influenci...
