Risk Assessment on Drought Disaster in China Based on Integrative Cloud Model

چکیده
This study promotes cloud model for risk assessment of drought disaster. Cloud model is an effective tool in uncertain transforming between qualitative concepts and their quantitative expressions. Cloud is expressed by a concept with three quantitative characteristics of expectation, entropy and hyper entropy and the mapping between qualitative and quantitative is realized. In this study, considering the fuzziness and uncertainty of drought disaster, we established the comprehensive cloudy model based on entropy weight method for evaluating the risk of drought disaster. The disaster-affected rate and disaster-damaged rate are selected as the evaluation indices of drought degree. The model is applied to assess the drought disaster risk in China. The BP neural network, hard division method and integrative cloud model are compared, and the integrative cloud model is shown better for evaluating drought risk. This study shows that risk assessment of drought disaster based on cloud model is feasible and effective and can provide decision-making for the risk assessment of drought disaster.

متن کاملA risk model for cloud processes
Traditionally, risk assessment consists of evaluating the probability of "feared events", corresponding to known threats and attacks, as well as these events' severity, corresponding to their impact on one or more stakeholders. Assessing risks of cloud-based processes is particularly difficult due to lack of historical data on attacks, which has prevented frequency-based identification...
متن کاملAn EPIC model-based vulnerability assessment of wheat subject to drought
This paper presents a regionalized vulnerability curve-building approach to vulnerability and risk assessment of wheat subjected to drought that uses the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model and statistical analysis. We defined wheat vulnerability as the degree to which a wheat production system is likely to experience yield loss due to a perturbation or drought hazard. Wheat vu...
متن کاملA probabilistic assessment of the likelihood of vegetation drought under varying climate conditions across China
Climate change significantly impacts the vegetation growth and terrestrial ecosystems. Using satellite remote sensing observations, here we focus on investigating vegetation dynamics and the likelihood of vegetation-related drought under varying climate conditions across China. We first compare temporal trends of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and climatic variables over China. W...
متن کاملThe drought risk of maize in the farming–pastoral ecotone in Northern China based on physical vulnerability assessment
Climate change is affecting every aspect of human activities, especially the agriculture. In China, extreme drought events caused by climate change have posed a great threat to food safety. In this work we aimed to study the drought risk of maize in the farming–pastoral ecotone in Northern China based on physical vulnerability assessment. The physical vulnerability curve was constructed from th...
