Application of Relative Drought Indices in Assessing Climate-Change Impacts on Drought Conditions in Czechia
The common versions (referred to as self-calibrated here) of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) are calibrated and then applied to the same weather series. Therefore, the distribution of the index values is about the same for any weather series. We introduce here the relative SPI and PDSI, abbreviated as rSPI and rPDSI. These are calibrated u...
متن کاملClimate extremes and climate change: The Russian heat wave and other climate extremes of 2010
[1] A global perspective is developed on a number of high impact climate extremes in 2010 through diagnostic studies of the anomalies, diabatic heating, and global energy and water cycles that demonstrate relationships among variables and across events. Natural variability, especially ENSO, and global warming from human influences together resulted in very high sea surface temperatures (SSTs) i...
متن کاملDrought, Deluge and Declines: The Impact of Precipitation Extremes on Amphibians in a Changing Climate
The Class Amphibia is one of the most severely impacted taxa in an on-going global biodiversity crisis. Because amphibian reproduction is tightly associated with the presence of water, climatic changes that affect water availability pose a particularly menacing threat to both aquatic and terrestrial-breeding amphibians. We explore the impacts that one facet of climate change-that of extreme var...
متن کاملGlobal warming and changes in risk of concurrent climate extremes: Insights from the 2014 California drought
Global warming and the associated rise in extreme temperatures substantially increase the chance of concurrent droughts and heat waves. The 2014 California drought is an archetype of an event characterized by not only low precipitation but also extreme high temperatures. From the raging wildfires, to record low storage levels and snowpack conditions, the impacts of this event can be felt throug...
متن کاملInvestigation and Prediction of Iranian Drought Using Composite Indices
In recent years, Iran in Southwest Asia it has been affected by drought. The purpose of the present study is to analyze and forecast drought in Iran. For this research at first, the precipitation and temperature climatic parameters over a 29 year period (1990- 2018) at 30 stations in Iran Collected. For modeling, the M.S.S fuzzy index, at first uses three indices (SET, SPI, MCZI) using fuzzy lo...
