Spatio-Temporal Variability of Drought in Pakistan Using Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Drought Vulnerability using the Standardized Precipitation Index (Case study: Semnan Province, Iran)

This study was conducted to identify drought event and its emerging regions in Markazi desert, Iran with focus onSemnan province in a 30 years statistical period. In this research, 61 stations having adequate data selected and usedafter extracting annual statistic from monthly and daily data. Standardized precipitation index values for each stationwere calculated and classified. The Results hav...

A Multiscalar Drought Index Sensitive to Global Warming: The Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index

The authors propose a new climatic drought index: the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The SPEI is based on precipitation and temperature data, and it has the advantage of combining multiscalar character with the capacity to include the effects of temperature variability on drought assessment. The procedure to calculate the index is detailed and involves a climatic wa...

Drought Analysis for Kuwait Using Standardized Precipitation Index

Implementation of adequate measures to assess and monitor droughts is recognized as a major matter challenging researchers involved in water resources management. The objective of this study is to assess the hydrologic drought characteristics from the historical rainfall records of Kuwait with arid environment by employing the criterion of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). A wide range of...
