Designing a Drought Monitoring System for Caribbean SIDS

چکیده
There are limited drought studies for the Caribbean. This is concerning since not only one of most devastating disasters in region, but it also least understood disasters. Very few papers analyze new ways to identify and monitor this disaster. Another major arguable gap research Caribbean’s sole focus on meteorological disregard agricultural drought. an important omission because significant negative impacts has Caribbean occurs forestry sectors. Not considering monitoring systems means that a part phenomena overlooked. Therefore, study focused bridging gap. It sought establish system strengthen drought’s early warning. To accomplish this, three predetermined conditions drought, precipitation, land surface temperature vegetation were used derive Standard Precipitation Index (SPI), Temperature Condition (TCI) Vegetation (VCI), order conditions. The vulnerability map found SPI, TCI VCI all correlated with past events. produced map. study, therefore, aims build resilience by providing accurate information duration, intensity spatial variability droughts Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

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...

Drought is by far the most costly natural disaster that can lead to widespread impacts, including water and food crises. Here we present data sets available from the Global Integrated Drought Monitoring and Prediction System (GIDMaPS), which provides drought information based on multiple drought indicators. The system provides meteorological and agricultural drought information based on multipl...
متن کاملDesigning a New Model for Evaluating the Maintenance System
The previous studies about the maintenance systems were dealt with defining the evaluation criteria, grouping them, and using different techniques for evaluating. The main problem is that maintenance subsystems and the relationship between and within them in order to a reliable evaluation have never been identified before.The contribution of this study is realizing the four maintenance su...
