چکیده
Abstract. Soil water is a major requirement for biomass production and, therefore, one of the most important factors agriculture productivity. As agricultural droughts are related to declining soil moisture, this paper examines moisture drought in transboundary Koshi River basin (KRB) central Himalayan region. By applying J2000 hydrological model, daily spatially distributed derived entire over 28-year period (1980–2007). A multi-site and multi-variable approach – streamflow data at station evapotranspiration three stations was used calibration validation model. In order identify conditions based on simulated deficit index (SMDI) then calculated, considering derivation actual from long-term weekly timescale. To subdivide variations river partitioned into distinct geographical regions, namely trans-Himalaya, mountains, plains. Further, SMDI aggregated temporally four seasons winter, pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon wetness dryness patterns observed study area. This has enabled us look magnitude, extent, duration drought. The results indicated that model can simulate processes with good accuracy. Considerable variation physiographic regions across due high precipitation temperature conditions. year 1992 driest 1998 wettest scale both magnitude duration. Similarly, also highest number weeks under Comparing standardised (SPI) suggested reflect higher than SPI. Our occurrence severity have increased last 3 decades, especially winter pre-monsoon seasons. insights provided frequency, spatial coverage, provide valuable contributions towards an improved management resources greater productivity

The mapping and forecasting of droughts and floods is an important potential field of application of global soil moisture and water storage products from satellites and models. Especially when extremes in near-surface soil moisture propagate into extremes in total water storage, agricultural production and water supply can be severely impacted. This study relates soil moisture from the WaterGAP...
متن کاملUse of Soil Moisture Variability in Artificial Neural Network Retrieval of Soil Moisture
Passive microwave remote sensing is one of the most promising techniques for soil moisture retrieval. However, the inversion of soil moisture from brightness temperature observations is not straightforward, as it is influenced by numerous factors such as surface roughness, vegetation cover, and soil texture. Moreover, the relationship between brightness temperature, soil moisture and the factor...
متن کاملSpatial patterns of soil moisture connected to monthly-seasonal precipitation variability in a monsoon region
[ I ] The relations between monthly-seasonal soil moisture and precipitation variability are investigated by identifying the coupled patterns of the two hydrological fields using singular value decomposition (SVD). SVD is a technique of principal component analysis similar to empirical orthogonal knctions (EOF). However, it is applied to two variables simultaneously and i s capable of extractin...
متن کاملScaled spatial variability of soil moisture fields
[1] This study identifies soil moisture spatial variability patterns using measurements across different extents (i.e., field, watershed, and basin) and depths (i.e., from surface to root zone profile) from 18 different soil moisture field experiments. The spatial variability patterns are well represented by negative exponential functions between the mean and the coefficient of variation of soi...
