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 ne...

Drought is a major problematic phenomenon mostly for semi-arid areas of Iran. During drought periods, reduction in vegetation levels causes such problems as soil erosion, surface runoff, flood risk, etc. Therefore, the assessment of drought effects on plant covers is the most important issue. This research was conducted in 2015 using the extracted vegetation indices from Moderate Resolution Ima...

in order to avoid drought effects, it is essential to detect and monitor the spatial andtemporal changes of the phenomenon. in general, drought indices are made use of toachieve the goals. the main aim followed in this paper is to introduce and assess a newdrought index termed mrdi. mrdi (modified reconnaissance drought index) is thencompared with modified standardized precipitation index (mspi...

Drought assessment and trend analysis of precipitation temperature time series are essential in the planning management water resources. Long-term historical records (monthly for 41 years, from 1980 to 2020) used investigate annual drought characteristics Somalia’s northern region. Six indices normal Standardized Precipitation Index (normal-SPI), log (log-SPI), using gamma distribution (Gamma-S...

As one of the most catastrophic atmospheric events, drought affects various aspects environment. Groundwater resources are sectors that influenced by long-term droughts and received insufficient attention compared to other Rainfall data collected 23 metrological stations for 20 years (2005, 2010, 2015,2020) was used investigate event its situation in Qazvin plain, central plateau Iran. Drought ...

The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China (Ningxia) is an important food production area in northwest China severely affected by drought. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were calculated based on monthly meteorological data to explore climate change and variation in drought intensity, duration, frequency, and spatial exte...

The National Agricultural Decision Support System (NADSS) is a web based geospatial decision support system used to aid producers and decision makers in analyzing and effectively mitigating the effects of drought. The NADSS application is unique in its implementation, containing web-based implementations of commonly utilized drought indices including the Newhall Simulation Model (NSM), Palmer D...

     Drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. It is normally performed using various drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables. In many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. Geostatistical methods allow the interpolation of spatially referenced data and the prediction of v...
