Climatic variability can lead to large-scale alterations in the hydrologic cycle, some of which can be characterized in terms of indices involving precipitation depth, duration and frequency. This study evaluated the spatiotemporal behavior of precipitation indices over the Kentucky River watershed for both the baseline period of 1986–2015 and late-century time frame of 2070–2099. Historical pr...

Drought is a natural phenomenon that causes lot of damages annually in various sectors, including agriculture and resources. The aim this study to evaluate the influence meteorological drought index on vegetation index. For purpose, standard precipitation (SPI) as calculated using data 28 stations located area Lorestane province, Iran, during years 1987–2017. Then, condition (VCI) computed norm...

Drought is a significant challenge to semiarid Mediterranean grasslands, Increasing the accuracy of monitoring allows improving conservation and management these vital ecosystems. Meteorological drought commonly monitored by Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) or Evapotranspiration (SPEI). On other hand, agriculture estimated Vegetation Health (VHI). This work aims optimise correlation between b...

drought is the one of the repeating phenomenon in all areas with high rainfall and low rainfall climates and is known as a natural disaster. iran is one of the countries those involved with this phenomenon in different parts of it especially in river basins. tehran province due to its importance in terms of social and political faced with growing population that it would contributes to the redu...

[1] Many current metrics of drought are derived solely from analyses of climate variables such as precipitation and temperature. Drought is clearly a consequence of climate anomalies, as well as of human water use practices, but many impacts to society are more directly related to hydrologic conditions resulting from these two factors. Modern hydrology models can provide a valuable counterpart ...

Annual growth of semiarid tree species is generally limited by a period of water deficit and this relationship can be reflected in interannual variation in tree-ring width of semiarid species such as Pinus edulis, a piñon pine that is widely distributed across the southwestern United States. Tree-ring width of P. edulis and other semiarid tree species is most frequently related to annual precip...

Realistic representation of vegetation’s response to drought is important for understanding terrestrial carbon cycling. We evaluated nine Earth system models from the historical experiment of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 for the response of gross primary productivity (GPP) and leaf area index (LAI) to hydrological anomalies. Hydrological anomalies were characterized by the ...

The study of the rainfall chronicles and its surroundings by standardized index (spi) randomness verification tests is great importance for management planning water resources. This work aims to variations regime over time determining precise years rupture in chronological series. considered data spread 4 decades (from 1980 inclusive 2019). These were used calculate Standard Pluviometric Precip...

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...
